I heard: Only the good die young
And it must be true
Because I'm still here
And so are you

I know I'm still young
And I’ve got time
But time has never been on my side

Sometimes I feel I'm being dragged away
Kicking and screaming
I know I feel this way, ‘cause I'm
Kicking and screaming

My mother, she’s a bad woman
I’ve felt her cold, cold hands
Wrapped tightly around my throat

She’s only living what she knows
And she’s never been told

I heard: Only the good die young
And it must be true
Because I'm still here
And so are you

I had a good, good father
He was my dream
Darkness and a strong disease
Took him away from me

My mother, she only believes
What she’s gonna believe
There’s been no wrong-doing
No bad seed for her to reap

But just as sure as the Moon will rise
He’ll take an eye for an eye
And she’ll go
Kicking and screaming
Kicking and screaming
