Bad Things to Such Good People Pedro The Lion

My jail shoes on
The well kept cemetery lawn
Both of them weeping
Their one good son now was gone

The irony
To see my dad down on his knees
Crying out to Jesus
But Lord I've always done what's right

[Chorus]
And all the while
The good lord smiled
And looked the other way

When we were kids
I did my best to make them proud
It just wasn't in me
I could not fly straight to save my life

[Chorus]
And all the while
The good lord smiled
And looked the other way

Their big success is now
Their biggest failure
Their golden child has been
Dethroned
Their reputation
Is now in ruins
Their tower to heaven
Has come tumbling down
