letra de the good life - fire town
way out on elysian street
out behind the railroad tracks
another dreamtown’s risin’
from a sea of cardboard shacks
but the i.r.s. is worried
they say they want their money back
they sent a little man down there with a calculator
he’s figuring out the tax
but n-body bats an eye
it’s just the good life p-ssing you by
let the green, green water take me away
where we all stand naked on judgement day
it’s just the good life
it’s just the good life
there’s a brand new club down on downer street
where you can hear robert johnson sing
and all the girls fly in from providence
with their good hope diamond rings
and even marshall dillon drops by
with his friend the little king
after a drink or two they’ll sing “don’t be cruel”
for twenty bucks they’ll do anything
but, n-body bats an eye
it’s just the good life p-ssing you by
let the great mississippi wash these hands
of the tears we’ve cried and we’ll start again
it’s just the good life
it’s just the good life
well, christmas time came early this year
down on granddad’s farm
he opened up all the presents himself
with an antique charter arms
then he tucked the whole family into bed
out in a corner of the yard
when the tv man asked him what went wrong
he said “i just got tired of being ignored”
now on the shopping mall boys are sleeping
on the feathers of yesterday’s crimes
dreaming dreams of dancing centrefolds
with perfect alabaster eyes
and uncle sam’s got a brand-new scam
selling franchised frozen pies
he says he’ll sell you a vote or a bullet-proof coat
’cause there’s nothing money won’t buy’
but, n-body bats an eye
it’s just the good life p-ssing you by
let the green, green water take me away
where we all stand naked on judgement day
n-body’s askin’ why
it’s just the good life making you cry
n-body bats an eye
it’s just the good life
it’s just the good life (p-ssing you by)
it’s just the good life
