A Great Man (Who Isn't A Good Man)

from Ivy by Western Blot

/

lyrics

You can talk a real good game
You’ve got a whole master plan
You’ve got real ambition
And you’re doing the best you can
But you’ve made real mistakes and
You didn’t really care who got hurt
And you’ve been lying to yourself that
You can separate it from your work
You think you can be a great man
Who isn’t a good man
Can you really be a great man
If you’re not even a good man?

And I think everyone deserves a private life
Everyone’s got a dark side
But you’re a piece of shit and a hypocrite
I hope it all comes to light

You’re focused on the big picture
Sweep the ugliness under the mat
And if someone digs up that dirt
noone’s perfect, sure, we all know that
but do we really need a great man
who isn't a good man?
can you really be a great man
if you're not even a good man?
