Barenaked Ladies
Good Life
[Refrain]
(Oh it's a good life, Good life
Oh it's a good life
Oh it's a good life, Good life
Oh it's, oh it's, good life)

[Verse 1]
I did my best to write and sing
You know I wouldn't change a thing
With the benefit of hindsight, I might
Not to had the fistfight that night
I made a family, I made friends
Made a mess, but made amends
I even made a little hot white sunlight
At least I had the spotlight one night
S'all right

[Chorus]
It's a good, it's a good, it's a good life
Reliving that dream every night
We ain't gonna get another, brothers and sisters
You don't wanna live no other
It's a good, it's a good, it's a good life
Wasn't easy but it turned out all right
Wouldn't trade it for another, brothers and sisters
You don't wanna miss this mother
[Refrain]
(Oh it's a good life, Good life
Oh it's a good life
Oh it's a good life, Good life
Oh it's, oh it's, good life)

[Verse 2]
You write a poem, right to the top
You're in the moment, then you're not
You were everybody's favourite flavour
Pretty sweet, but now you've fallen outta favour
Was it hard to watch it go?
If you were there then you would know
Not much I miss about that fame game
Everyone knowing my face but not knowing my name
My name, what's my name

[Chorus]
It's a good, it's a good, it's a good life
Reliving that dream every night
We ain't gonna get another, brothers and sisters
You don't wanna live no other
It's a good, it's a good, it's a good life
Wasn't easy but it turned out all right
Wouldn't trade it for another, brothers and sisters
You don't wanna miss this mother
[Bridge]
It comes to pass, it doesn't come to stay
Let it all unfold and just step out the way
It comes to pass, it doesn't come to stay
Let it all unfold and just step out the way
Hey hey

[Breakdown]
Had the plate full, so I'm grateful
Had the gatefold state
Sold platinum everywhere I'm at, son
Arenas to the rafters, laughter
Company ever after
Now I'm sat here looking back there
One Week was a high peak on the hot streak
Wasn't even funny, made money by the ton
We could've packed it up, then we had a Big Bang
Now after three decades, it's still a good hang

[Chorus]
It's a good, it's a good, it's a good life
Reliving that dream every night
We ain't gonna get another, brothers and sisters
You don't wanna live no other
It's a good, it's a good, it's a good life
Wasn't easy but it turned out all right
Wouldn't trade it for another, brothers and sisters
You don't wanna miss this mother
[Refrain]
(Oh it's a good life, Good life
Oh it's a good life
Oh it's a good life, Good life
Oh it's, oh it's, good life)
