Nice Things
A bouncy, giggly scene plays in the living room
Georgie's pushing trucks, I love his revved up vroom
Totally caught off guard by the location of lamps
And we knocked one down when he flew off the ramp!
This is why we can't have nice things
This wonderful life and the destruction it brings
No more browsing catalogs and magazines
This is why we can't have nice things
An after dinner surprise in a one pint size
Spooning into the rock, it's too much exercise
The bowl explodes in my hands, the shards fall into the drawer
And for just a second or two I cannot take any more!
This is why we can't
This is why we can't have nice things
This wonderful life and the destruction it brings
No more browsing catalogs and magazines
This is why we can't have nice things
It doesn't matter what it cost
We'll still be bummed out when it's broken
It doesn't matter what is lost
Cuz we've already spent that token
We're yelling in a parking lot
At least we know that this is not a mistake
But nothing seems to last as long as we thought
And all this stuff is gonna break
This is why we can't have nice things
This wonderful life and the destruction it brings
No more fancy catalogs and magazines
This is why we can't have nice things
This is why we can't have nice things
This is why we shan't have nice things
That was why we couldn't have nice things
This is why we shouldn't have nice things
Georgie's pushing trucks, I love his revved up vroom
Totally caught off guard by the location of lamps
And we knocked one down when he flew off the ramp!
This is why we can't have nice things
This wonderful life and the destruction it brings
No more browsing catalogs and magazines
This is why we can't have nice things
An after dinner surprise in a one pint size
Spooning into the rock, it's too much exercise
The bowl explodes in my hands, the shards fall into the drawer
And for just a second or two I cannot take any more!
This is why we can't
This is why we can't have nice things
This wonderful life and the destruction it brings
No more browsing catalogs and magazines
This is why we can't have nice things
It doesn't matter what it cost
We'll still be bummed out when it's broken
It doesn't matter what is lost
Cuz we've already spent that token
We're yelling in a parking lot
At least we know that this is not a mistake
But nothing seems to last as long as we thought
And all this stuff is gonna break
This is why we can't have nice things
This wonderful life and the destruction it brings
No more fancy catalogs and magazines
This is why we can't have nice things
This is why we can't have nice things
This is why we shan't have nice things
That was why we couldn't have nice things
This is why we shouldn't have nice things
