Open up the newspaper you know what I read?
Changing our laws so we can detain refugees
Saying border security's a good thing to have
We're just good people trying to protect God's land

Turning on the TV screen you know what I see?
Sending my brothers sisters to die in the name of peace
Saying when all these 'evil' people are taken down
We're gonna teach them how to be good just like us. Dude, look around.

When I was young, Mama always said
When you grow up be like Jesus, He's a peace lovin' man
So i vow to God never to be 'good' again
Coz being 'good' is giving my Jesus a bad name

Rocked up to the church house well you know who I met?
It's a private table of world leaders plotting in the Lord's name
So with a help of a friend we turn the table upside down
Say we're gonna have to ask you 'good people' to leave my father's house

When I was young, Mama always said
When you grow up be like Jesus, He's a peace lovin' man
So i vow to God never to be 'good' again
Coz being 'good' is giving my Jesus a bad name

Bush, Blair, Howard if you ever hear this song
Know that my Jesus he'd be singing along
He'd be crying his heart out everytime you oppress a man
So you won't get his vote as part of your 'good' plan

When I was young, Mama always said
When you grow up be like Jesus, He's a peace lovin' man
So i vow to God never to be 'good' again
Coz being 'good' is giving my Jesus a bad name

When I was young, Mama always said
When you grow up be like Jesus, He's a peace lovin' man
So i vow to God never to be 'good' again
Coz being 'good' is giving my Jesus a bad name

Being 'good' is giving my Jesus a bad name
Being 'good' is giving my Jesus a bad name
