Lyrics

[00:06.03] The truth comes out when living the straight and narrow
[00:13.75] Gossip queens better keep those eyes down low
[00:17.19]
[00:20.63] Take them right off me and put them back on the preacher
[00:25.06]
[00:27.13] As good as it ever will be a freeloader floating at sea
[00:30.42]
[00:31.92] It doesn?t matter if they need me
[00:36.47]
[00:38.41] A house divided
[00:39.78]
[00:44.84] My conscience is a cricket every time I curse you know he writes me a ticket
[00:52.05]
[00:55.37] No one can be free when tied and bound and moved by strings
[01:05.37]
[01:06.12] I cut them down the preacher screams heavy is the burden of Brother Dee
[01:12.86] Oh brother come back home
[01:16.03]
[01:27.16] I?m tired of being good you know I want to be bad
[01:38.47]
[01:40.91] But I cry when Jiminy won?t call my name
[01:44.78]
[01:47.78] In the name of Lost Boys everywhere and Marilyn Jean
[01:53.12]
[01:54.43] I don?t care if they don?t like me
[01:56.87]
[01:57.75] But they?re still the very best
[02:02.19]
[02:04.69] My conscience has experience every time I cut myself he stops the bleeding
[02:12.16] And what good is freedom when rebellion becomes legal
[02:15.00]
[02:18.65] I cut it down the eagle screams falling to its doom in the bloody sea
[02:25.05]
[02:29.49] Wendy darling praying on her knees heavy weighs the burden of Brother Dee
[02:35.24]
[02:36.12] Oh brother come back home
[02:38.06]
[02:43.12] I?m tired of being good you know I want to be bad
[02:47.87]
[02:49.62] But I cry when Jiminy won?t call my name
[02:53.55]
[02:56.55] In The name of Lost Boys everywhere and Marilyn Jean
[03:01.62]
[03:03.12] I don?t care if they don?t like me
[03:05.55]
[03:06.49] But they?re still the very best
