Introduction
The Good Don't Last
We could have been God's dream
We could have lived the LIFE!
Could have done great things
Man, it would have been so nice
It could have been me
Could have been you
We could have done anything we wanted to do
Ant I don't know how it happened
But we got it all wrong
The bad don't mean anything
And the good don't last too long
We could have watched 'Black Like Me'
Instead we watched the big guns
And everybody knows the words
To "seasons in the sun"
Could have had give
Could have had take
We could've made anything we wanted to make
So we made 'Wheel Of Fortune'
And all the popular songs
We made a land where crap is king
And the good don't last too long
Now there's darkened doorways creaking in my bed
I got the Mannix theme song playing in my head
Put this one to bed
The Radiant Is
No Words
No denying
The Radiant is
Is still here
Watching
And multiplying
And it's not going to
Disappear
