Why Can't You Write A Song Without The Bad

Words and Music: Keith Lancaster © 1992 Anthony K. Music (ASCAP)
Lead: Keith Lancaster and John Laws (stepouts)
Lyrics:

Chorus:
Why can't you write a song without the bad?
Without the fornication that you've had
Without your l*** and jealousy
Have you lost all your decency?
Why can't you write a song without the bad?

Well, the preacher said "Care for you soul"
Don't listen to the rock-and-roll
How country music is the purest, sweetest sound
Well I'd believe that if I could
That all of it is so good
But decent music is harder to be found
Repeat Chorus

I can't believe what they're trying to say
On the television every day
How our music's come this far, it seems so sad (sad)
And the radio's getting rough
You know I really think we've all had enough
The new songs to be good don't have to be bad (don't have to be bad)
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Why can't you write a song without the bad? (why can't you write a song)
Without the fornication that you've had (does it have to be so bad)
Without your l*** and jealousy
Have you lost all your decency?
Why can't you write a song without the bad?
