Everything's Just Wonderful lyrics

[Verse 1]

Do you think

Everything, everyone, is going mental?

It seems to me we're spiralling outta control and it's inevitable

Now don't you think

This time is yours, this time is mine?

It's temperamental

It seems to me, we're on all fours

Crawling on our knees, someone help us, please

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Oh, Jesus Christ almighty

Do I feel alright? No, not slightly

I wanna get a flat, I know I can't afford it

It's just the bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage

It's very funny 'cause I got your fucking money

And I'm never gonna get it just 'cause of my bad credit

Oh well, I guess I mustn't grumble

I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles

[Chorus]

Oh, yes, I'm fine

Everything's just wonderful

I'm having the time of my life

[Verse 2]

Don't you want something else

Something new, than what we've got here?

And don't you feel it's all the same

Some sick game, and it's so insincere?

I wish I could change the ways of the world

Make it a nice place

Until that day, I guess we stay

Doing what we do, screwing who we screw

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Why can't I sleep at night?

Don't say "It's gonna be alright"

I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognese

And not feel bad about it for days and days and days

In the magazines, they talk about weight loss

If I buy those jeans, I can look like Kate Moss

I know it's not the life that I chose

But I guess that's the way that things go

[Chorus]

Oh, yes, I'm fine

Everything's just wonderful

I'm having the time of my life

Oh, yes, I'm fine

Everything's just wonderful

I'm having the time of my life

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...

[Post-Chorus 1]

Oh, Jesus Christ almighty

Do I feel alright? No, not slightly

I wanna get a flat, I know I can't afford it

It's just the bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage

It's very funny 'cause I got your fucking money

And I'm never gonna get it just 'cause of my bad credit

Oh well, I guess I mustn't grumble

I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles

[Outro]

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...

But I guess it's just the way that things go

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...

I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...

But I guess it's just the way that things go

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...

I suppose it's just the way the cookie crumbles
