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.
