What's Good - The Thesis
Life's like a mayonnaise soda
And life's like space without room
And life's like bacon and ice cream
That's what life's like without you
Life's like forever becoming, but
Life's forever dealing in hurt
Now life's like death without living
That's what life's like without you
Life's like Sanskrit read to a pony
I see you in my mind's eye, strangling on your tongue
What good is knowing such devotion?
I've been around, I know what makes things run
What good is seeing eye chocolate?
What good's a computerized nose
And what good is cancer in April?
Why no good, no good at all?
What good's a war without killing?
What good is rain that falls up?
What good's a disease that won't hurt you?
Why no good, I guess, no good at all?
What good are these thoughts that I'm thinking
It must be better, huh, not to be thinking at all
A styrofoam lover with emotions of concrete
No, not much, not much at all
What's good is life without living?
What good's this lion that barks?
You loved a life others throw away nightly
It's not fair, not fair at all
What's good?
Oh baby, what's good?
What's good?
What's good?
Not much at all
Hey baby, what's good? (What's good?)
What's good? (What's good?)
What's good? (What's good?) Not much at all
What's good? (What's good?)
What's good? (Life is good)
Life is good (life is good)
What's good? (Life is good)
But not fair at all
And life's like space without room
And life's like bacon and ice cream
That's what life's like without you
Life's like forever becoming, but
Life's forever dealing in hurt
Now life's like death without living
That's what life's like without you
Life's like Sanskrit read to a pony
I see you in my mind's eye, strangling on your tongue
What good is knowing such devotion?
I've been around, I know what makes things run
What good is seeing eye chocolate?
What good's a computerized nose
And what good is cancer in April?
Why no good, no good at all?
What good's a war without killing?
What good is rain that falls up?
What good's a disease that won't hurt you?
Why no good, I guess, no good at all?
What good are these thoughts that I'm thinking
It must be better, huh, not to be thinking at all
A styrofoam lover with emotions of concrete
No, not much, not much at all
What's good is life without living?
What good's this lion that barks?
You loved a life others throw away nightly
It's not fair, not fair at all
What's good?
Oh baby, what's good?
What's good?
What's good?
Not much at all
Hey baby, what's good? (What's good?)
What's good? (What's good?)
What's good? (What's good?) Not much at all
What's good? (What's good?)
What's good? (Life is good)
Life is good (life is good)
What's good? (Life is good)
But not fair at all
