[ Featuring Chris Murphy ]
In eighteen hundred and fifty four
John McSorley opened his doors
Well a lot has changed, but this remains
Be Good or Be Gone
Eat up your cheese and crackers
Mix up your McSorley's Ale
Take joy in the simple pleasures of life
Share a pint; share a tale
Women, you are welcome here
At least since the seventies
Yes a lot has changed, but this remains
Be Good or Be Gone
Be Good or Be Gone
Be Good or Be Gone
Step in the shoes of the legends
That have shuffled this sawdust floor
Soldiers and presidents; students and working men
Not in the this world anymore
Give me the Light and give me the Dark
And it doesn't matter who you are
Be Good or Be Gone
And it doesn't matter who you are
Be Good or Be Gone
Life is a fairytale
Words are a game
Prophets and poets are pulling the pints
And a place is more than it's name
So bring me the Light and bring me the Dark
Aww it doesn't matter who you are
Be Good or Be Gone
No, it doesn't matter who you are
Be Good or Be Gone
Oh, it doesn't matter who you are
Be Good or Be Gone
