"What Good?" lyrics

"What Good?"

What good?
Is all this rattling on?
Full of fancy words I can't follow along
What good?
Is all the questions when the premise is wrong?
Call me exhausted from the conversation
What good?
Is all the money when your body is gone?
Walking down the street like they're walking Milan
They want a statue?
They want it in bronze
They want a statue?
Where would it belong? (Come on)

Oh that everlasting light
In the sun, in the moon
In the corner see it glowing
By the neon sign (Come on)
Yeah we all got secrets
We got something to hide
What do you do with the money, with the money
When the money gets tight?

What good? What good?
What good? What good?
What good? What good?

I heard the sirens from the ambulance
I started looking around for the accident
The line behind was growing fabulous
And I swear I'm not some kinda activist but...

The lawyers started acting ravenous
The businessmen started doing calculus
It was a good idea and they ran with it
Now everybody chasing that ambulance

Oh that everlasting light
In the sun, in the moon
In the corner see it glowing
By the neon sign (Come on)
Yeah we all got secrets
We got something to hide
What do you do with the money, with the money
When the money gets tight?

What good? What good?
When the money gets tight
What good? What good?
When the money gets tight
What good? What good?
When the money gets tight
What good? What good?

I saw a monk in a robe with some bracelet beads
He was handing 'em out to everyone he meets
He was standing on the corner next to Bourbon Street
Was a sign from God: "It's time to party"

Are you looking for some higher truth?
Doesn't any of this bother you?
Ever wonder what's controlling you?
What good, what good, what good?

Oh that everlasting light
In the sun, in the moon
In the corner see it glowing
By the neon sign (Come on)
Yeah we all got secrets
We got something to hide
What do you do with the money, with the money
When the money gets tight?

Oh that everlasting light
In the sun, in the moon
In the corner see it glowing
By the neon sign (Come on)
Yeah we all got secrets
We got something to hide
What do you do with the money, with the money
When the money gets tight?

What good? What good?
What good? What good?
