Be Righteous

Be Righteous
 Be righteous
 My parents said
 Be righteous
 Don't hang out too much
 Become a real man
 God knows I've tried to follow them
 But I didn't quite succeed in growing up
 So I have to try again
 Be patient
 They used to say
 Be patient
 Love will come when you are old enough to realize
 Lord knows I've tried to sit and wait
 But I got tired of waiting for my fate to come
 So I guess I'll have to wait until my beard's grown long
 Be righteous
 My parents said
 Be righteous
 Don't hang out too much
 Become a real man
 God knows I've tried to follow them
 But I didn't quite succeed in growing up
 So I have to try again
 Be patient
 They use to say
 Be patient
 There's so much, there's so much
 Time for growing old
 And too much too much
 Love to stay cold
 I want to find my love before the morning comes
 'Cause I know I have to take my chance
 You might call it disobedience
 But I know I have to take my chance
 Be righteous
 Why they always say
 Be righteous
