Lyrics for A Good Man Is Easy To Kill as interpreted by Flyingtreemonkey

A Good Man Is Easy To Kill Lyrics
(Ba da ba ba ba da da…) x 8

I would be overstated
If I said I knew you well
That I knew you well
When you flew through that windshield
And your life passed reel the reel
Was there a bit part for me?
I made a wish for you
Blew out the sun so it’d come true
But the sun froze along with your heart

So give up, give up your love
Give up, give up your love
I promise its not gonna kill ya
And I need ya, Lord I need ya

(Ba da ba ba ba da da…) x 8

And when they cut up your lung
You said it could all breathe easy
The hole swallowed your heart
When they drill holes in your skull
And screwed that halo to your head
Did you think you could fly?
I made a prayer for you
Then prayed some more that it’d come true
Don’t know about God but I believe in you

So give up, give up your love
Give up, give up your love
I promise its not gonna kill ya
And I need ya, Lord I need ya
And though you haven’t got a lot to give up
A good man is easy to kill well
Stop talking about the weather and say you’re getting better

(Ba da ba ba ba da da…) x 8

thanks, dustybreeze.

captanchron, I didn't know that, but I didn't mean that the song was "about a book". I was just guessing that the title could be a reference to the book, which doesn't mean the song can't be about his father's death. considering shake_it_loose's comment, it could fit. I haven't read the book though. anyway, it's an inoffensive assumption, chill out.

Flannery O'Connor is one of Miles Kurosky's favorite writers.

now that's funny.
I was reading about a novelist called Kurt Vonnegut when I discovered the name Flannery O'Connor, which happens to be Vonnegut's favorite writer. to my surprise, I find that she's written a story entitled "A Good Man Is Hard To Find", the same title of a Sufjan Steven's song. then I randomly decide to take a look at Beulah's lyrics and here it is: A Good Man Is Easy To Kill, certainly referring to the title of O'Connor's short story.

I knew this song was on a car commercial! Argh! I wish they'd read the lyrics first.

It's too bad about the father, but I think the lines "I made a prayer for you...I believe in you" are some of the best lyrics ever

the first verse actually goes:
I would be overstating
If I said I knew you well
Or that I knew you at all

What is even more funny about this song is that some sly fellow at an ad agency put the intro music in a car commercial! You've got to imagine the good people at Dodge never asked to look at the songs lyrics ("when you went through that windsheild") before okaying the ad

I completely agree about the "Don’t know about God/ but I believe in you" part. It seems to embody the essence of the song. I never knew the backstory, but now it makes a lot more sense.

Ah, an update.
This sound was written about a car crash involving the lead-singer's father.
Quite somber.

this is a great fucking song, probably about how someone was in a car crash and barely holding on to life. On his/her deathbed, they are still evading the important topics like love and life. They are just submitting to their slow death when they need to maintain hope and hold on to everything that matters in the life that is slipping away because this person is needed by others. the only thing they should give up is their love to those who care so much. It's a sad subject under the guise of an upbeat and well orchestrated song. Beulah kicks my ass...
