Bright Lights, Big City movie - Kindness lyrics
rate me<br>
Vicky:<br>
Well, it was my father really<br>
Indirectly speaking, Daddy never read philosophy<br>
But he lived by a strict philosophical code<br>
Dad was in investment banking<br>
Very proper, always thanking people<br>
He was kind to me; I’d sit on his knee when he’d get home<br>
He would say to me, <br>
‘Think of what the world could be if we could just be<br>
Kind to each other.’<br>
I thought about what Daddy said<br>
I thought about the thoughts in my head<br>
At 12 I found this book by Young<br>
‘Considering Thoughts of Modern Men’<br>
That was when I found I like<br>
To delve into the human psych<br>
And when my musings got confusing<br>
Daddy said, ‘Just do what you can<br>
And think of what the world could be<br>
If we could just be kind to each other.’<br>
And Daddy found another woman<br>
Daddy found much younger woman<br>
I came home to find Mommy flailing,<br>
Wailing at the wall<br>
Kindness, there’s not enough kindness in the world<br>
Daddy’s lying on a beach now<br>
With Gloria the stewardess<br>
His contradictions spilling out<br>
Of his new tight blue jeans<br>
So much for his riff on kindness<br>
I mark it down to human blindness<br>
But I don’t mind too much, cause I love him<br>
I say, ‘Nice jeans Dad.’<br>
Just to be kind<br>
Think of what the world could be<br>
If we could just be kind to each other<br>
Kindness, there’s not enough kindness in the world<br>
Kindness<br>
<br>
