Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you think
Everything, everyone, is going mental
It seems to me, it's spiraling
Out of control, and it's inevitable
Now, don't you think this time is yours?
This time is mine, it's temperamental
It seems to me, we're on all fours
Crawling on our knees, someone help us, please
[Verse 2]
Oh, Jesus Christ almighty
Do I feel alright? No, not slightly
I wanna get a flat, I know I can't afford it
It's just the bureaucrats that won't give me a mortgage
It's very funny 'cause I got your fuckin' money
And I'm never gonna get it just 'cause of my bad credit
Oh, well, I guess I mustn't grumble
I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles
[Verse 3]
Oh, yes, I'm fine
Everythings just wonderful
I'm havin' the time of my life
[Verse 4]
Don't you want something else
Something new than what we've got here?
And don't you feel it's all the same?
Some sick game and it's so insincere
I wish I could change the ways
Of the world, make it a nice place
Until that day, I guess we stay
Doin' what we do, screwin' who we screw
[Verse 5]
Why can't I sleep at night?
Don't say it's gonna be alright
I wanna be able to eat spaghetti Bolognese
And not feel about it for days and days and days
All the magazines, they talk about weight loss
If I buy those jeans, I can look like Kate Moss
I know it's not the life that I chose
But I guess that's just the way that things go
[Verse 6]
Oh, yes, I'm fine
Everythings just wonderful
I'm havin' the time of my life
Oh, yes, I'm fine
Everythings just wonderful
I'm havin' the time of my life
[Verse 7]
Oh, Jesus Christ almighty
Do I feel alright? No, not slightly
I wanna get a flat, I know I can't afford it
It's just the bureaucrats that won't give me a mortgage
It's very funny 'cause I got your fuckin' money
And I'm never gonna get it just 'cause of my bad credit
Oh, well, I guess I mustn't grumble
I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles
[Verse 8]
Oh, I guess it's just the way that things go
I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles
Oh, I guess it's just the way that things go
I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles
