Good As I

from From the Esco - EP by Qualian

lyrics

Oh, I live in a house on the side of the road where the race of men pass by.
Some are good, and some are bad;
just as good or bad as you and I.

Here they come,
oh, here they come;
watch 'em go.

Oh, I've seen many a man that's done way worse than I; compared to some I'm a saint.
So If you think just 'cause I'm boozin', you can come here accusin', I'm gonna show you I ain't.

So if I'm goin' down for drinking my sorrows,
Well then the rest of you hypocrites are goin' too.

Oh, I walk by a house on the side of the road where the men that are lost come to die.
Though they should, they never had
any way to save themselves from their own minds.

Here we come, oh, here we come;
watch us go.
Where we come from, where we're headed;
no one knows.

Regularly, it occurs to me that in order to be as good as he, I might as well die, I might as well leave, 'cause no one on earth appreciates me.

So if I'm goin' down for drinking my sorrows,
Well then the rest of you hypocrites are goin' too.
And let me be because I wont be here tomorrow,
And I now know that there will be a better chance for you.
