You’ve Never Had It So Good

I truly meant it at the start
Cross my cold and empty heart
I never thought that this would happen to me
I came with virtuous intentions
And offered honest interventions
And I believed it all so innocently

But then the more I learned about
The way the whole thing’s figured out
I found there’s really not a thing I can do
So I got myself indoctrinated
Into what I thought I always hated
Come so far I might as well see it through

And now I’m singing
Ooh ooh ooh
Don’t you know that you’ve never had it so good?
Ooh ooh ooh
Don’t you know that you’ve never had it so good?

It’s this crazy situation
I gеt the same old accusations
“Hey why don’t you show a littlе more class
And state your honest point of view?”
But you’ve got to understand that
You don’t need convictions when you’re out on your ass

“Oh have mercy I disclaim!”
I cannot be the one to blame
You know I never mean the words that I say
Cos I’ve been known to praise the Lord
And then put my neighbors to the sword
It’s complicated, hell, what else can I say?

And so I’m singing
Ooh ooh ooh
Don’t you know that you’ve never had it so good?
Ooh ooh ooh
Don’t you know that you’ve never had it so good?

It’s just the sweet manipulation
It’s the myth of cause and correlation
Take a bad idea then move it along
And still we tend to be resistant
To one whose views are inconsistent
More than one who’s just consistently wrong

But if you beat the same old drum
Say something slick but kinda dumb
Well then there’s every chance that you’re gonna win
And yes although I may be faking
You’ve got to understand that
Taking care of business is the business I’m in

That’s why I’m singing
Ooh ooh ooh
Don’t you know that you’ve never had it so good?
Ooh ooh ooh
Don’t you know that you’ve never had it so good?
