Good Life - Barenaked Ladies

(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)

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

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

(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)

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

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

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

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

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

(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)
