Good Intentions
Gorilla Biscuits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Things I try don't work out. Other people
Gripe and shout. That's not positive. I'm
Not perfect. I'm just Civ.
Trial and error...Good Intentions!
Throw a beer at the stage, that's how you
Behave. Paid admission, had no fun.
You think I'm the stupid one.
Think again...Good Intentions!
I'll just try my best...and you?




Nothing.
