lyrics

I heard a man, he said the world it was a changin'
I hear a man he said the world would stay the same
well I don't bother with such quaint deliberations
I think that I shall be the one that is to change

I have a friend they swear the stars are gonna save us
I had a friend they swore the snakes would do us in
well I can't tell you which is which, or what the way was
all that I know is just to chance it though its slim

now tell me
what is a good man but a bad mans teacher
what is a bad man but a good mans job
I ain't no pope, and he'll I'll never be a preacher
cause what's the use, except to soil the name of god

I used to jump and think the clouds were out of my reach
I learned to float and found that they would float to me
I used to wonder if my ship would keep on sailing
well I used to wonder, now I'm drowning in the sea

what is a good man but a bad mans teacher
what is a bad man but a good mans job
I've wracked my brains, I've wrecked my sense, and i've lost my reason
I've found a spanger is much better than a snob


what is a bad man but a good mans brother
what is a good man but a bad mans friend
you know I'll always be the one that's gonna help another
I tried my best, I guess I faked it in the end
