"For Good Reason"
[verse 1]
For good reason
There’s a no-photographs-or-filming policy
At my daughter’s gymnastics class
And I’m not fond of my daughter
And I don’t really enjoy gymnastics
But I don’t like having my picture taken
So you’ll find me there a lot
[chorus]
Because everyone has a camera these days
These aren’t the days when you’d have to carry around a box with a curtain
And the subject had to sit perfectly still while you removed and replaced a lens cap
To get your photo taken
Everyone’s got a camera on them all the time
Anyone can take a photo in milliseconds
And I don’t like having my photo taken
And who knows what they’ll do with it
[verse 2]
For good reason
There’s a no-photographs-or-filming policy
At my son’s swimming class
And I’m not fond of my son
And I don’t really enjoy swimming
But I don’t like having my picture taken
So you’ll find me there a lot
[chorus]
Because everyone has a camera these days
These aren’t the days when you’d have to carry around a box with a curtain
And the subject had to sit perfectly still while you removed and replaced a lens cap
To get your photo taken
Everyone’s got a camera on them all the time
Anyone can take a photo in milliseconds
And I don’t like having my photo taken
And who knows what they’ll do with it
[bridge]
It’s not a religious thing
I don’t think photos steal your soul
It’s not that I think I’m bad looking
I could probably be a model if I wanted to
It’s not that I’m in a witness protection program
Or I’m running from the law
I just have strong feelings against it
Though I’m not opposed to showing up in a painting, I suppose
[chorus]
Everyone has a camera these days

And the subject had to sit perfectly still while you removed and replaced a lens cap
To get your photo taken
Everyone’s got a camera on them all the time
Anyone can take a photo in milliseconds
And I don’t like having my photo taken
Who knows what those people will do with it
[outro]
So you’ll only find me in places
where people can’t bring in cameras
I even built a device that blocks electronic signals at my home
And that makes things complicated
But everything’s complicated these days.
Everything’s complicated these days.
