Lyrics
Living the Good Life Right Now
Michael Carpenter
Everybody wants the good life babe
But nobody’s paying the price
Everybody wants peace on earth
But so many people are ready to fight
We’re living the good life right now
We’re living the good life right now
The future seems so far away
And the past is in the ground
Everybody wants to help you out babe
But nobody’s got money to spare
Everybody wants their piece in life
But there’s only so much that they can bear
We’re living the good life right now
We’re living the good life right now
The future seems so far away
And the past is in the ground
The good life babe wasn’t all it was cracked up to be
We’re short on money and short of where we wanted to be
But we went off the grid and out of the coporate spin
And we’re better off now than we’ve ever been
