lyrics

You are a selfish man, a great man
With a wife of so many years
Can I last that long as a woman
To be good, not great, not enough

Somebody told me once that I am like a snake
With a poisonous tongue and secret intentions
We are entering the season of self-control
Dress well for the weather and always stand together

Good not great
To be good, not great
Is it enough, not always enough

If I could take away my vision and my sex
Become human being, nothing else
Could I live like you or other than you
To be good, not great, not enough

Somebody asked me once, what is it that you do?
Well I dance in the dark asking Medusa for direction
We are entering the season of tragedies
Beware of fatal flaws and do not pander to village applause

Good not great
To be good, not great
Is it enough, not always enough

Youssef fell in love with the whitest of his sheep
The one he called his bride
And then they killed his sister
Militiamen of a different religion
While her daughter hid in the basement
She was the only one who survived
Is she a good girl now, is she?
Still cowering inside

Good not great
To be good, not great
Is it enough, not always enough
