Be Good Cos You're a Good Human Being

Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
A wise owl man once said this to me
Ask questions; find out your history
Stop repeating and reliving misery
Or others before us suffered for nothing
As a civilisation we’re failing
Jailing addicts, while bankers be staying in power
With a fresh pot of sterling
And if they screw up again, no worries
It’s not history in school but propaganda
Carefully selected for your nation’s agenda
So you’ll kill any innocent when they send you
Into the next war, more young defenders
Been talking ‘bout climate change since the sixties
If we wake up, can we still fix this?
American senators still think its fiction
And you can’t argue with fools man, that’s a given
I won’t force feed my child religion
Problems are fixed with actions not praying
I think that the paradise is us being alive
Heaven and hell can wait till the afterlife
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Are they watching you now?
Are you checking yourself?
Are you holding it down?
Are you living through living hell?
Everybody’s got their own story
I shouldn’t criticise how others are coping
If you’ve seen the light in god and you feel saved
I’ll respect your choices to the grave, but
I’m more interested in truth than faith
If there’s nothing after we die and I slaved
All those years feeling guilty,
And chipping off bits of myself to be
Better at some values that I never bought into
To be praying and powerless and waiting
For someone else to sort it all out, I’m just saying
I need to make the most of this life
I don’t know what’s next
So I’m living in this life
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
Be good cos you’re a good human being
