Well, I've been fighting myself
Beaten up again
Try to tuffin' up my body so it won't
give in
But this wrestling match
It seems to never end
Between my conscience and my
flesh
But my flesh always wins, 'cause
It's so hard to be sunny when your
moon is high
It's so hard to act smile when you're
feelin' cry
It's impossible to feel while you're
frozen cold
It's so hard to force good when bad
comes natural
Just about the time I get the beast
to quell
Then here comes along temptation
and I'm jumping bail
Well, I've got a heart of gold that's
captive to stubborn will
I try to get my will to give but it's
like bending steel, 'cause
Numb and bloodied up I'm finally at
my end
Kept on diggin' my own grave until
it caved right in
Maybe that's the answer I've been
looking for
Guess my flesh has got to die so I
can live
When bad comes natural
When bad comes natural
When bad comes natural
It's so hard to be good when bad comes natural
