Good People
Poor Mans Poison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if they were broken, just looking for a hand?
If you could help or walk away
If that choice was up to you, what would you do?
What if it were you?
(Where did all) Where did all the good people go?
(Where did all) Where did all the good people go?
(Where did all) So where did all the good people go?
What if all you gave was all you had?
What if you were humble, just holding out your hand?
What if kindness prevailed
And you were someone's second chance just giving back?
That doesn′t sound so bad
(Where did all) Where did all the good people go?
(Where did all) Where did all the good people go?
I keep looking around, I don't quite feel like I belong
(Where did all) So where did all the good people go?
(Where did all) Where did all the good people go?
(Where did all) Where did all the good people go?
I keep looking around, I don't quite feel like I belong
(Where did all) So where did all the good people go?
(Where did all) Where did all the good people go?
(Where did all the good people go?)
(Where did all) Where did all the good people go?
(Where did all the good people go?)
I keep looking around, I don′t quite feel like I belong
(Where did all) Where did all the good people go?
The lyrics to "Good People" by Poor Man's Poison explore the concept of compassion and the loss of kindness in society. The song begins with a thought-provoking question: "What if all they lost was all they had?" This line suggests that there are people who have very little and are in need of help. The lyrics go on to highlight the importance of offering a helping hand to those who are broken and in search of assistance. The listener is then presented with a choice: to either provide help or to walk away. The question is posed, "If that choice was up to you, what would you do? What if it were you?" This encourages the listener to consider how they would want to be treated if they were in a similar situation.
The chorus repeats the question, "Where did all the good people go?" This line implies that there is a disappearance or scarcity of kind and compassionate individuals in the world. The feeling of not belonging is also emphasized, suggesting that the lack of good people creates a sense of isolation or disconnect.
The second verse follows a similar pattern, emphasizing the importance of giving all you have and being humble. It poses the idea that kindness can prevail if we choose to be someone's second chance by giving back. The lyrics express that this act of kindness doesn't sound bad at all.
Overall, "Good People" by Poor Man's Poison prompts the listener to reflect on their own actions and the choices they make when it comes to helping others. It encourages empathy and challenges the listener to be one of the "good people" who make a positive difference in the world.
