My Friend The Chocolate Cake – I Guess It Don’t Get Much Better Than This lyrics

I sit at the window and I can’t see a thing
We’re not looking closely we’re just giving in
When they spin the wheel of fortune we all clap and dance
And we drink and we laugh and we sing
It’s a hope we hang on to dearly
The chances of winning are grim

And I guess it don’t get much better than this
All the time I feel fine
Do we settle for some ordinary bliss
All the time I don’t mind

This little country it’s little again
We never caught on to the old vision thing
But we’re fools if we sit back and stare at the ground
While the weasels and analysts sing
If we want our place in history
We can’t let the frustration drive us to fashionable drinking again

And I guess it don’t get much better than this
All the time I don’t mind
Do we settle for some ordinary bliss
All the time I don’t mind

It’s all in the family well it must be if they say
I’ll take the pills on the couch and then sleep it away
We all fake it in fine style we’ve still got our pride
And we talk and act tough like we win
The way that we keep our heads up
While they’ve been stripping away every gain that we’ve made
Oh it’s much too easy

And I guess it don’t get much better than this
All the time I feel fine
Do we settle for some ordinary bliss
All the time I don’t mind
