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
