"Good For Nothing" lyrics

"Good For Nothing"

Mama's got an ice pack on her cheek from late last night
Brother's got a Batman blanket he's still holding tight
There's a hole beside the wooden cross hanging on the wall
She's been thinking bout taking it down
Wondering if it's all
Good for nothing

Daddy's waking sober in the parking lot of the bar
Staring at the Bible verses tattooed on his arm
But the devil on his shoulder sounds a lot like his old man
Telling him He's always been

Good for nothing like Nazareth
Where the son of man was born
Good for nothing like two fish
In the hands of a little boy
Good for nothing's what they said he was
Driving nails into his hands
He's been to the grave and back
Guess he didn't all that
Good for nothing

So he cried and talked to God as he pulled up to that front door
Finally found forgiveness but had to have it from one more
He told her he was sorry but the only thing she heard
Was all them up at night black and blue eyed
Prayers that she prayed weren't

Good for nothing like Nazareth
Where the son of man was born
Good for nothing like two fish
In the hands of a little boy
Good for nothing's what they said he was
Driving nails into his hands
He's been to the grave and back
Guess he didn't all that
Good for nothing
Good for nothing

Lord knows this world ain't perfect
And with the rough shape that we're in
Thank God our good for nothing's
More than good enough for him

Good for nothing like Nazareth
Where the son of man was born
Good for nothing like two fish
In the hands of a little boy

Good for nothing's what they said he was
Driving nails into his hands
He's been to the grave and back
Guess he didn't all that
Good for nothing
