Alone in the diner thinking he must be cursed
Can't find the chorus for life's second verse
Cute little waitress comes and calls him sir
It's gotta get better cause it can't get worse
Mama's little angel told her reach for the sky
But daddy's little devil never learned how to fly
Take another drag leans back in his chair It's gonna get better,
it's only up from here
Ain't you notice all the lines that were crossed?
Life's easy credit,
just tally the cost All our
lives we're swimming upstream
Climbing ladders,
building the dream All our time keeps slipping away
Did you think that you'd ever be Crushing cigarettes and watching TV?
Seasons pass in the blink of an eye He
quit living just before his body could die
Never stops and listens to that little voice It's
gotta get better cause there's no other choice
Ain't you notice all the lines that were crossed?
Life's easy credit,
just tally the cost All our lives we're swimming upstream
Climbing ladders,
building the dream Credit card castles that we came to pay
Time is the dragon that we try to
slay Did you think that you'd ever be
Crushing cigarettes and watching TV?
All our
lives we're swimming upstream Climbing ladders,
building the dream
Credit card castles that we came to
pay Time is the dragon we try to slay
Did you think that you'd ever see
Your mania lights up on that marquee?
Crushing cigarettes and watching TV
Lazy boy,
keep pulling that arm Don't you know it'll cause you harm?
