[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
