Good For You, Bad For Me

Your crop is as strong as the forest. Your brain has talented perks. My thoughts are as thick as the forest; it really makes me irk!

Your family considers you great. Good for you, good for you. Mine think I have a bad fate. Bad for me, bad for me.

You gain new friends at a constant pace? Good for you, good for you. Mine friend of course took a new coarse and closed the door on my face. Bad for me, bad for me.
