You and I, we're the same as each other
|
Can't stand to think we're the same as each other
|
So come over to mine and we'll drink some beer
|
Get on a bus and get the fuck out of here
|
Follow a star to a new messiah
|
Slit his throat for the good of the unborn,
|
Generations tripped the wire
|
Made off with our hearts desire
|
|
We've never had it so good
|
Never had it so good
|
We've never had it so good,
|
Life is sweet.
|
|
You're just like cinderella
|
On the screen in technicolor
|
Off the chart, you'll be going stellar
|
You'll be the pepsi cola seller
|
With lips so full and moist
|
All your friends'll be queuing up to tell you
|
"you've got such a lovely voice".
|
You've got such a lovely voice
|
|
We've never had it so good
|
Never had it so good
|
We've never had it so good,
|
Life is sweet.
|
|
And people die when towers fall
|
I've tried but I hardly even care at all
|
I've seen you angry and I've seen you cry
|
Life goes fitfully flitting by
|
And I would love to climb a barricade
|
Like every other boy you know
|
But the wars at home have been betrayed
|
By too many boys on barricades
|
|
We've never had it so good
|
Never had it so good
|
We've never had it so good,
|
Life is sweet.
|
|
So spare me a thought when you're old and you're finished
|
A listing wreck off greenwich village
|
Write me a letter that I'll never reply to
|
You know what I'm like better than I do
|
Tell me about how you sleep at night
|
Tell me about your consolations
|
Lie to me, say you still fight
|
Tell me death will be alright, oh
|
|
We've never had it so good
|
Never had it so good
|
We've never had it so good,
|
Life is sweet.
|
Life is sweet.
