Good Kid

[PERCY JACKSON]
Six schools in six years
Been kicked out of every place
Everything I ever do is wrong
Never find where I belong
Everybody on my case

The same old story
The same old song
Don't act up
Don't act down
Be strong

I keep my head down
I keep my chin up
But it ends up all the same
With, "Pack your bags, Percy, you're always to blame"

I never try to do anything
I never mean to hurt anyone
I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid
A good kid
A good son

But no one ever will take my side
All I ever do is take the fall
I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid
Yes, I'm good for nothing at all

Gabe was a world class jerk dad
Was never there
The only family that really mattered
Well, she vanished into the air

And now I finally find a haven
Someplace safe where I can stay
Till it's, "Pack your bags, Percy, now go, go away!"

I never try to do anything
I never mean to hurt anyone
I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid
Yeah, Percy that's a good one

But no one ever will take my side
All I ever do is take the fall
I swear, I swear that i'm a good kid
Yes, I'm good for nothing at all

The schools in six years
Every battle
Every day
No one ever tells you that they're proud
No one asked me "Percy how'd you like to come around and stay?"

All you get are bad grades
And a bum rap
And a bad rep
And a good smack
And no friends
And no hope
And no mom
She's taken away...

I swear I never stole anything
I never meant to hurt anyone
I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid
A good kid
Who's had a bad run

And all I need is one last chance
To prove I'm good enough for someone

Good enough for someone
(Six schools in six years)
I'm good enough for someone
(Six schools in six years)
I'm good enough for someone
