[Verse 1]
The air smells so sweet
Nowadays it hardly rains on me
I mostly sane and can't complain but
I don't need I don't need your thunder
To know that it still rains here

[Verse 2]
And these last three
Nowandlaters sticking to my teeth
Remind me to stay young and green
And I don't need, I don't need your lectures
On sugar in moderation

[Chorus]
True, life is mostly tragic
But you don't know how good you have it
When you're older your will grasp it
You just don't know how good you have it

[Verse]
I used to dream
Of rats and snakes and death and other things
But now I take a breath before I sleep but
I don't need, I don't need a nightmare
To know that they still live here

[Chorus]
True, life is mostly tragic
But you don't know how good you have it
When you're older your will grasp it
You just don't know how good you have it
