We were the good kids
Spent our summers at the lake
Stole the champagne from the wedding
Snuck the whiskey out the wake
And we found salvation by playing
Spin the bottle after school
Smashed the mailboxes to pieces
And we dove into the pool

The sun was always hot and the asphalt cracked
And we hid in the orange grove, covered up our tracks
And if I had the money I would give it back
To be a good kid

All we wanted was our freedom
So we made the city proud
At night we'd drive off to the old field
And play the radio too loud
Singing songs about escaping
We'd smoke until we saw the sun
Yeah we'd laugh until we passed out
But it was bigger than having fun

The nights were just as hot and the ocean black
I left town on the highway, said I won't look back
But when they sent my diploma I put it in a plaque
Cause I was a good kid

Now the color wars are corporate
But all the bills have been paid
We bitch and moan Monday through Friday
Till we get drunk or we get laid

But we've been having conversations
And meditating in our hearts
We know the fire is everlasting
But it's so hard to start
Soon we'll have our children
They can have it better than we did
Because we've been fighting off our demons
So they'll raise the better kids

The sun was always hot and the asphalt cracked
And we hid in the orange grove, covered up our tracks
And if I had the money I would give it back
To be a good kid
