Open the conversation
Hearing what they think
Baby I'm ashamed
And oh, I can't explain
Why do I feel this way
Ashamed of my toleration
Love will turn away
In my life I wanna teach you what's right
So you won't be the same
And I get scared for the world you were born into
Where the good deeds get lost in time
And I hope and I pray 'cause I promised you
The good life
Take all your revolutions
And hold them near
As we began
Bringing in another year
Turn on the television
Become who you are
All I can do, is promise you
A better start
And I get scared for the world you were born into
Where the good deeds get lost in time
So I hope and I pray 'cause I promised you
The good life
And I get scared for the world you were born into
While you stand wide eyed in the doorway
Are you fooled to believe I promised you
The good life ...
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
And I get scared for the world you were born into
Where the good deeds get lost in time
So I hope and I pray 'cause I promised you
The good life
And I get scared for the world you were born into
While you stand wide eyed in the doorway
Are you fooled to believe I promised you
The good life ...
