We Are Not Good People

Think fast boy

Think on your feet

If you don't know it now

Then you never will

Never will

You're too young

To be so heavy

Rip off the seal

And let me school you

 

You see angels melt

When they touch the ground

You see, you're not dumb

You're just not aligned

Because you could be

The one percent

If you wanna

 

(We've got the doorway)

(We've got the hallway)

(You can't restore yourself)

 

We're not good people

We're not good people, no

We're not good people, no

We're not good people, no

This is a warning

 

If God is God then

Why is he secret?

Today’s the day

You've been set free

They might claim

The best things are hidden

But I was here

You came to me

 

With these five lines

You will be reborn

As superman or maybe a jock

You can crush

The whole world in your palm

If you wanna

 

(We've got the doorway)

(We've got the hallway)

(You can't restore yourself)

 

We're not good people

We're not good people, no

We're not good people, no

We're not good people, no

This is a warning

 

You see angels melt

When they touch the ground

You see, you're not dumb

You're just not aligned

Because you could be

The one percent

If you wanna

 

(We've got the doorway)

(We've got the hallway)

(You can't restore yourself)

 

We’ve got the doorway

We’ve got the hallway

You can’t restore yourself

 

We're not good people

We're not good people, no

We're not good people, no

We're not good people, no

This is a warning
