[Verse 1]
Failure's like a scarlet letter
We keep it buried 'neath our skin
And how do you like me better
It's old truth out new truth in
Freedom's not something you fight for
It's just the key that holds us in
And what did your mother work for
A cardboard house with fake wood trim
[Chorus]
It's been a long time since I've been good
It's been a long time since I've been good
This mask I'm wearing doesn't fit me like it should
It's been a long time since I've been good
[Bridge]
He wants to start a revolution
He's putting on his favorite grin
There's a problem with your children
Pay them off they don't fit in
[Chorus]
It's been a long time since I've been good
It's been a long time since I've been good
This mask I'm wearing doesn't fit me like it could
It's been a long time since I've been good
[Verse 2]
We're going to see about his face
It's an easy part to replace
Bow your head and just say grace
Freedom's not something you fight for
It's just the key that locks us in
And what did your father die for
A cardboard house with fake wood trim
Guess you showed him
[Chorus x2]
It's been a long time since I've been good
It's been a long time since I've been good
This mask I'm wearing doesn't fit me like it did
This mask I'm wearing doesn't fit me like it should
It's been a long time since I've been good
