What a Good Boy - Barenaked Ladies

Lyrics
words to study

When I was born they looked at me and said

what a good boy,

what a smart boy,

what a strong boy,

When you were born, they looked at you and said

what a good girl,

what a smart girl,

what a pretty girl,

We got these chains hanging round our necks

people want to strangle us with them

before we take our first breath

Afraid of change afraid of staying the same

when temptation calls we just look away.

This chain is the hairshirt I wear

and this hearshirt is woven from

your brown hair

This song is the cross that I bear

Bear it with me , bear it with me, bear with me
