Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have a mansion, forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all
[PreChorus]
They say I'm crazy, but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
[Refrain]
Life's been good to me so far
[Verse 2]
My Maserati does one eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked
[Verse 3]
I make hit records, my fans they can't wait
They write me letters, tell me I'm great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call
[PreChorus]
Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
Everybody say I'm cool
He's cool
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
[Refrain]
Life's been good to me so far
[Verse 4]
I go to parties, sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed
[PreChorus]
They say I'm lazy, but it takes all my time
Everybody say, "Oh, yeah"
"Oh yeah"
I'll keep on going, guess I'll never know why
[Refrain]
Life's been good to me so far
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Uh oh, here comes the flock of wah-wahs
