Melanie - The Good Guys lyrics

(Melanie Safka)<br />

<br />

I'm tired of seeing the picture<br />

You're painting of yourself<br />

You with the borrowed colors<br />

That you picked from someone else<br />

Maybe you're a movie<br />

Or some best selling book<br />

I know your mirrored mornings<br />

In rehearsal of your looks<br />

Oh your cause is oh so beautiful<br />

You're ready to begin<br />

You're going to play the good guys<br />

By singing the good guys hymn<br />

Ah you're building the halls with the outer walls<br />

But you haven't got a thing within<br />

<br />

The innocence of children<br />

Is the manner you suppose<br />

And you can describe in full detail<br />

What we already know<br />

Ah your cause is all so pretty<br />

And we're ready to begin<br />

We're going to play the good guys<br />

By singing the good guys hymn<br />

Ah we're building the halls with the outer walls<br />

But we haven't got a thing within<br />

<br />

But if we keep on trying<br />

Though our purpose isn't clear<br />

We just may move the universe<br />

We'll learn to really care<br />

Eventually the whole facade<br />

Becomes more than a whim<br />

By starting to build on the outside<br />

We're gonna fill up the walls within<br />

By starting to build on the outside<br />

We'll fill up the wallls within<br />

Eventually the whole facade<br />

Becomes more than a whim<br />

And by starting to build on the outside<br />

We're gonna fill up the walls<br />

We're gonna fill up the walls within
