Good Kid

Six schools in six years

Been kicked out of every place

Everything I ever do is wrong

Never find where I belong

Everybody on my case

♪

The same old story

The same old song

"Don't act up, don't act downed

Be strong"

I keep my head down

I keep my chin up

But it ends up all the same

With: "Pack your bags, Percy

You're always to blame"

I never try to do anything

I never mean to hurt anyone

I try, I try to be a good kid

A good kid

A good son

But no one will ever take my side

All I ever do is take the fall

I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid

Guess I'm good for nothing at all

♪

Gabe was a world-class jerk

Dad was never there

The only family that really mattered?

Well, she vanished into the air

And now, I finally find a haven

Somewhere safe where I can stay

'Til it's: "Pack your bags, Percy,

Now go your own way."

I never try to do anything

I never mean to hurt anyone

I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid

Yeah, Percy, that's a good one

But no one will ever take my side

All I ever do is take the fall

I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid

Guess I'm good for nothing at

All the schools in six years

Every battle

Every day

No one ever tells me that they're proud

No one asks me, "Percy, how'd you like to come around and stay?"

All you get are bad grades

And a bum rap, and a bad rep

And a good smack, and no friends

And no home, and no mom

She's taken away

♪

I swear I never stole anything

I never meant to hurt anyone

I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid

A good kid, who's had a bad run

And all I need is one last chance

To prove I'm

Good enough for someone

I'm good enough for someone

I'm good enough for someone (Six schools in six years, six schools in six years)

I'm good enough for someone (Six schools in six years)
