about

Good ones is the second single from forthcoming EP 'Get What You're Given' released in Feb 2023. It tells the story of a fictional politician attempting to convince his constituency that he really is 'one of the good ones' and isn't as corrupt as he might appear... although of course he is...

lyrics

Uh Hmm,

I'm a male feminist.
One of the good ones,
I'll let you talk your mind,
before, pissing on it with mine,

I'm a social activist,
And I'm very good at it,
I click on petition links,
Before I even have time to think,

People always ask me,
'How are you so perfect?'
And I say, well, maybe it's cos'

I'm one of the good ones,
I'm one of the good ones,
I'm one of the good ones,
I'm one of the good ones,

I'm a champagne leftist,
I've got the money for it,
I decry all bigotry but,
I don't want them living near me,
I'm a pacifist advocate,
A great one at that,
I'm so against conflict,
I stuck with Blair in 96.

People always ask me,
'How are you so perfect?'
And I say, well, maybe it's cos'

I'm one of the good ones,
I'm one of the good ones,
I'm one of the good ones,
I'm one of the good ones,

Ladies and Gentlemen of the working classes,
I'd like you to raise your glasses,
You may be the worst dregs of society,
But you'll be alright if you act more like me,

I'm one of the good ones,
I'm one of the good ones,
I'm one of the good ones,
I'm one of the good ones,

I'm one of the good ones,
I'm one of the good ones,
I'm one of the good ones,
I'm one of the good ones,
