"What A Good Boy"When I was born, they looked at me and saidwhat a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.And when you were born, they looked at you and said,what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl.We've got these chains that hang around our necks,people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same,when temptation calls, we just look away.[Chorus]This name is the hairshirt I wear,and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair.This song is the cross that I bear,bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me,be with me tonight,I know that it isn't right, but be with me tonight.I go to school, I write exams,if I pass, if I fail, if I drop out,does anyone give a damn?And if they do, they'll soon forget 'cause it won't take much for meto show my life ain't over yet.I wake up scared, I wake up strange.I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change.I wake up scared, I wake up strangeand everything around me stays the same.[Chorus]I couldn't tell you that I was wrong,chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song.I couldn't tell you that you were right,so instead I looked in the mirror,watched TV, laid awake all night.We've got these chains, hang 'round our necks,people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same when temptation calls ...[Chorus]When I was born, they looked at me and said;What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.And when you were born, they looked at you and said;what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl, hey

Tnx Jackalope, I didn't know that, it's very interesting and explains a lot :)

Thanx everyone! I'll try to do more if I find the time! To be honest I mostly made this for my self, I didn't really think anyone would see it lol. This is a very special song for me so I didn't mind spending a lot of time making this vid. I love how the song is not just a love song, it's mostly about the pressure of responsibilities in life, and I guess the love part is about support we all need to go through the stress of being a grown-up :)

Riley Bell

That's actually very interesting, thank you.

a hairshirt is actually- not always a shirt but a piece of cloths made of coarse animal fur meant to irritated that skin. Often used in old religious practices as a way for one to atone for an wrong doings.

Michael Jones

Its when he is lying naked with his woman her brown hair covers his chest like a shirt

Riley Bell

What is a hairshirt..?

Awesome song, I never spend a day without hearing it at least one time. It gives me the power to make the best in my life and if I make mistakes...it's okay, I have to learn from it. Thanks for the video!

Gaston Comeau

Thanks for posting this song. One of their best songs...very under-rated.
