about

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
-Edmund Burke

"That’s pretty much the case for most men these days.” -Paul Atwater, 11/10/11

lyrics

Good man did nothing today
Good man did nothing today

Him drive to work, come home with no delay,
push the papers, stay out of the bossman’s way
No time for pleasure, no pay, him just punch in for pay
Ask him how him do, him say OK

He believe the greatest virtue is to behave
To the daily grind him grovel like a slave
Ignored the homeless veteran at the Pick ‘n’ Save
Tonight a hungry soldier meet an early grave

Good man
Good man

Blood and guts invade his mental space
Him feeling less than loving toward the human race
He wants to punch the poor passerby right in the face,
but good man heart is still a peaceful place

Good man
Good man
Good man
Good man
