Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Why does everything have to be so hard?

Maybe you'll never find your purpose

Lots of people don't

But then I don't even know why I'm alive

Well, who does, really?

[Verse 2]

Everyone's a little bit unsatisfied

Everyone goes round a little empty inside

Take a breath, look around

Swallow your pride

For now

For now

[Verse 3]

Nothing lasts

Life goes on

Full of surprises

You'll be faced with problems

Of all shapes and sizes

You're going to have to make a few compromises

For now

For now

[Verse 4]

But only for now, for now

Only for now, for now

Only for now, for now

Only for now

[Verse 5]

For now we're healthy

For now we're employed

For now we're happy

If not overjoyed

And we'll accept the things we cannot avoid

For now, for now, for now, for now

[Verse 6]

But only for now, for now

Only for now, for now

Only for now, for now

Only for now

[Verse 7]

Only for now, for now there's life

Only for now, for now there's love

Only for now, for now there's work

For now there's happiness

[Verse 8]

But only for now, for now there's comfort

But only for now, for now there's friendship

Only for now, for now

Only for now

[Verse 9]

Only for now, sex

Is only for now, your hair

Is only for now, George Bush

Is only for now

[Verse 10]

Don't stress, relax

Let life roll off your backs

Except for death and paying taxes

Everything in life is only for now

[Verse 11]

Each time you smile

Only for now

It'll only last a while

Only for now

Life may be scary

Only for now

But it's only temporary

[Verse 12]

Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum

Ba-dum, ba-dum, la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum

Ooh

[Verse 13]

Everything in life is only for now
