Good Things
The Interrupters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's always darkest before the dawn
Weather clearin up ya the storms comin
And pick up the pieces time to rebuild
Pick up the broken glass that spilled
Ya Ya

In a disaster it's our new chapter
No longer shattered we're bruised and battered
If I'm the one to blame it doesn't matter
Good things
Ya Ya

I've been through hell today
I hit rock bottom somethins gotta change
I've been through hell today
I hit rock bottom good things are bound to come my way
My way

This world is ruled by selfishness and greed
Some get everything they want
When most can't afford what they need
I've had days where I couldn't find a meal
Livin hand and mouth but I don't steal
Ya Ya

I couldn't count the ways that I've been let down
That I've been betrayed, that I've been pushed around
I don't know who's to blame it doesn't matter
Good things
Ya Ya

I've been through hell today
I hit rock bottom somethins gotta change
I've been through hell today
Good things are bound to come my way
My way

Good things Good things Good things Good things
Are bound to come my way
Bound to come way

Good things Good things Good things Good things




Are bound to come my way
Bound to come way

This song has become my anthem. I listen to it every morning to get started for the day. I am a child abuse/sexual abuse survivor and live with chronic illnesses that have left my permanently disabled since age 23. This song gives me the inspiration to keep fighting the good fight. Thank you so much the interrupters!!! I love your tunes and positive lyrics. Good things are bound to come my way! <3

Stumbling across new music by the INTERRUPTERS getting ready to watch them live at Aftershock! Only a month left! And I can’t wait to see them again!

This song is the shit❤ <3 that little badass guitar riff. This is the song I listen to when I'm feeling like giving up, because it's uplifting at the same time as it is a representation of being beat down. Singing "Good things are bound to come my way"
