Momus - I Want To Be Good lyrics

If I could be born again I'd be born as one of the men Who travel around putting money around And become everyone's friend Who distribute for free an amazing machine That can turn rubbish to food If I hadn't been born to be bad I'd be born to be good I began as a bit of a crook And I'm known for the money I took From the disadvantaged and dispossessed Leaving them destitute I'd rob the who*es at the orphange doors But I'm misunderstood I had to be bad to be me but I want to be good I'll become a good old boy And commit philantrophy Improve the neighbourhoods I destroyed And go down in history Erect a few statues, endow a few colleges All named after me I had to be bad to be bad But I want to be good This song comes thanks, you see To donations from people like me The Dastardly Foundation and Kervorkian Industries Well I'd hate to be known for turning humanity Into pots of glue I was born to be bad but I want to be good
