Sweet Legacy (Good Enough)

A sweet legacy, if it’s good enough for you, then it’s good enough for me

Well I’ve salted the ocean – nuclear waste

Peppered the rivers & I’ve poisoned the taste

Sentenced Poseidon to an early grave

Put a floater on every wave –

So think of me kindle when taking a swim

And things start arriving all over your skin

Think of me kindly & I know you’ll agree

That your kids got a future – a sweet legacy

If it’s good enough for you, then it’s good enough for me –

Chorus

Now aint that good – aint that good –

Good enough – good enough?

Now aint that good – aint that good –

Good enough – good enough?

All manner of toxic human extremes

I’ve scattered, delivered into all of your seas

I don’t care where I put it, I don’t lose any sleep

If it turns up on somebodies beach

So think of me kindly when walking the sand

And them holes in your feet they aint quite what you planned

Just think of me kindly & I know that you’ll agree

That your kids got a future – sweet legacy

That your kids got a future – a sweet legacy

And if it’s good enough for you, then it’s good enough for me –

Repeat chorus

Well I’ve fouled up the air with burnt gasoline

Chicken that lay eggs you can’t eat

Pigs going crazy – mad cow disease

Microwave dinners that turned us all ‘green’

So think of me kindly when taking a meal

You are what you eat & you eat what you feel

Think of me kindly & I know that you’ll agree

That your kids got a future – a sweet legacy

And if it’s good enough for you, then it’s good enough for me –

Repeat chorus
