100 Good Things

Lyrics

I've got good things, so my perspective needs a radical twist I know there's reasons I should exist My life is good, I just have to insist Cuz there's so many good things on my list And there's probably more that I've missed I've got money in my checking and my savings accounts That used to seem like unrealistic amounts And I even deserve it I've had loving tho it seems impossible when I'm lonely There were times great women wanted to know me And I even deserved it I'm in shape, I mean just enough but not too outrageous Cuz I've been jogging 30 minutes for ages So I even deserve it I've got art, to me that's where my skills always stood out I've been drawing all my life and I'm good now And I keep up to deserve it I've got good things so my perspective needs a radical twist It's obnoxious but I have to insist There's reasons I should exist Cuz there's so many good things on my list And there's probably more that I've missed I'm successful, beyond anything I ever could picture I'm a small but thriving cultural fixture And I think I deserve it I've got friends, for talking or for drinking or eating From the oldest to the new ones I'm meeting And they keep me surviving I've got out, to every state from Cali to Carolina To the pyramids and great wall of China And I still can't believe it My rent's cheap, in the place I've always dreamed I would be It's the best thing that ever happened to me But I probably don't deserve it The US, it's so beautiful diverse and exciting Tho we know a thousand problems it's hiding Don't be blind to what's great here And there's food, all the recipes the world has come up with I've ate great things that I even got stuffed with And I eat every day And there's books, at a level of such genius engagement Pure enlightenment and pure entertainment You just fly thru the pages And there's movies, from the weirdest and your absolute favorite To your favorite no one even has made yet Sometimes they've blown me away And there's comix, all those comix at the heart of my life That often were the greatest art of my life How much joy they have brought me I've got good things So my perspective needs a radical twist I know there's reasons I should exist My life is good, I just have to insist Cuz there's 100 good things on my list And there's probably more that I've missed And there's ice cream, and there's so many flavors that I'd get And there's flavors that I still haven't tried yet It's just heaven on earth And there's kisses, like when me and Sally kissed down on Mott St Sent us floating like we ain't even got feet I'm so happy that happened And adventures, there were times I had some awesome exploring All my travels and incredible touring And I hope to do more soon And the earth, just the smell of the dirt and the air And all the water and plants everywhere Unbelievable life forms And there's space, all the endless infinite and mind-blowing Even just the little fraction that's showing It's just too much to deal with And fun, what hell is this thing we call fun It happens sometimes even to everyone Can't deny that it feels good And records, oh my god so many mind-blowing records Jesus christ there are so many good record This entire song could just have been record Even if this song was just about records There'd be hundreds and hundreds and hundreds I bet And those are just all of the hundreds that I don't even know yet I've got good things So my perspective needs a radical twist I know there's reasons I should exist My life is good, I just have to insist Cuz there's so many good things on my list And there's probably more that I've missed
