Following “Final Girl”, “Good Girls” carries a similar theme to its predecessor, criticising gender expectations of the music industry. The song launched off from a conversation about how many bad things a male artist has to do (think: Jimmy Page, Morrissey, or Ye) to stop somebody from listening to...
Good Girls Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Killing your idols is a chore
And it's such a fucking bore
'Cause I don't need them anymore
So maybe if you just got some guts
We'd kill 'em with a thousand cuts
And say we did it out of love
So save your breath
Give a little of what you have left
Do they know something I don't?
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it easier when you don't have to count to ten?
When you don't have to pretend?
I want to know that feeling
Is it easier when you don't have to start again?
When you don't wanna make amends?
I want to know that feeling
[Chorus]
Good girls don't cry
And good girls don't lie
And good girls justify, but I don't
Good girls don't die
And good girls stay alive
And good girls satisfy, but I won't
[Verse 2]
They tell me I'm hell-bеnt on revenge
I cut my teeth on wеaker men
I won't apologise again
And I never had a taste for liars
Or the uniquely uninspired
'Cause I don't need to be desired
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it easier when you don't have to count to ten?
When you don't have to pretend?
I want to know that feeling
Is it easier when you don't have to start again?
When you don't wanna make amends?
I want to know that feeling
[Chorus]
Good girls don't cry
And good girls don't lie
And good girls justify, but I don't
Good girls don't die
And good girls stay alive
And good girls satisfy, but I won't
No, I won't
[Post-Chorus]
Ha
[Outro]
Killing your idols is a chore
And it's such a fucking bore
But we don't need them anymore
We don't need them anymore

What did CHVRCHES say about "Good Girls"?
It was about grappling with the idea that we’re always told that bad things don’t happen to good girls, and if you do all these things and you make yourself small and safe, then you’ll be okay, then you’ll be acceptable, and I don’t find that that is true.
It feels like an OG CHVRCHES song in terms...
What else have the artists said about the song?
We’d been having this discussion about struggling with the idea of male heroes who do terrible things and how you—as a fan or a listener or viewer—sit with those things. I’ve always struggled with it. I find it hard to be emotionally vulnerable with someone as a listener if I know they think certain...
