Lyric

Grace is calling, to be found...
No one had to say, be perfect today
No one had to say, be perfect today
That's okay, find your way
Second chances are just one more ask
Ask away...

Clean it up. Clean up your act.

Lyrics:

She tried to tear me down...its not going to work,
Cause' I've been down there before...
So low, you don't know how low I can go,
When you push me down low, I go high
High...

I can play, I can play...

I can play to the end of the game,
Backwards love is the blackest of doves,
Silence burns through my brain like a pain,
Invisible cuts into what is sane,
Don't think I haven't been in a pit,
I've escaped from the witches and I'm back with a gift
Wanna be free, you wanna be right,
Good girl...cause the fire brings light

I don't wanna upset you babe...

Lyric analysis on the Song What's Good For Me, Is Good For Everybody:

Podcast Credit: Google NotebookLM, powered by Gemini 1.5 Pro.

Toronto-based singer songwriter Irvin Kovar, solo artist behind over 198 compositions on SoundCloud under LFTR (formerly An Angel Bought Long Island), shares with us a musical interpretation of the dangers of unhinged populist personalities. He gives credit to his life-long friend, Peter Chang who inspired him, verbatim with the chorus line, taken from one of their many discussions on politics and America.

1st Verse
You find me empty
I’ve got not empathy
All I need is envy
So please envy me
It’s helpful lying 
Just bend the truth
Can’t you see the chaos
Trust me, I know what to do
I will get you to chant my name

Chorus
What’s Good For Me Is Good For Everybody
What’s Good For Me Is Good For Everybody
Its only me, there is nobody
But me…but me…

2nd Verse
I’m grandiose
Love exaggeration
Preoccupied with success …and adulation
I ‘m special, and I’ve got power
Look in my mirror 
I’ll save your heaven from these cowards

Chorus
What’s Good For Me Is Good For Everybody
What’s Good For Me Is Good For Everybody
Its only me, there is nobody
But me…but me…

Chorus
What’s Good For Me Is Good For Everybody
What’s Good For Me Is Good For Everybody
Its only me, there is nobody
But me…but me…
