Sloan - You Don't Need Excuses to Be Good lyrics

He was old enough to know So when he asked if the impossible were true She thought he wanted to Tell it like it is, and so she did He had experienced the innocence of being a kid But she wanted Readiness to be rewarded Sweetheart, keep your curiosity If people have a problem, they can deal with me I don't mind if I do offend Cuz I think it's understood Kids can't know, must we condescend? They don't need excuses to be good Get off on good behaviour For now (but someone tell me) How (a culture could) Allow (this to be and I) Vow, they don't need excuses to be good. Then the waterworks began She took a moment to reflect on her decision As tears obscured his vision She gave his eyes a chance to dry The chance she took was worth it Cuz now his eyes were fully open Exactly what she had been hoping Sweetheart, thought I'd never think it, still Nothing's gonna be if you just wish it will I don't mind if I do offend Cuz I think it's understood The lights are on, must we all pretend? That we need excuses to be good But some remain in the dark Even now (so someone tell me) How (a culture could) Allow (this to be and I) Vow, you don't need excuses! Now (but someone tell me) How (the culture could) Allow (this to be, take no) Vow. It only confuses You don't need excuses to be good.
