Good Things

Good things are happening somewhere, always
Good things are happening somewhere
Good things are happening somewhere, always

But they're not happening here today

I can't sleep at night
My eyes are wide opium
And only numb feels right
It helps ignore the smoking gun
It is not brave of me to not give up
My only choice is win or remain stuck

You get what you get, not what you deserve
The meek are too tired to inherit the earth
Try not to despair, despair has no worth
It's best not to care it lessens the hurt

Good things are happening somewhere, always
Good things are happening somewhere
Good things are happening somewhere, always
But they're not happening here today

I've heard it said that everything is energy
A balance checked with mathematics, universal symmetry
But some are robbed, and some receive
A deadbeat wins the lottery
So, where do I fit, what is my role in this tragedy?
I'm laughing through my tears, sweet comedy
(Good things are happening somewhere, always)
It's comedy
(Good things are happening somewhere)

You get what you get, not what you deserve
The meek are too tired to inherit the earth
Try not to despair, despair has no worth
It's best not to care, it lessens the hurt

Oh sweet comedy
(Good things are happening somewhere, always)
Show me the good things
(But they're not happening here today)

It's comedy
(Good things are happening somewhere, always)
(Good things are happening somewhere)

It's comedy

Good things
(Good things are happening somewhere, always)
Good things
Good things
(But they're not happening here today)
