we`re all growed up we`re all gone wild we all been beat like a stepchild I`d help you save the world but I`m busy that day one foot on the gas and the other in the grave in spite of everything it`s pretty good to be alive
in spite of you in spite of me in spite of everything it`s pretty good to be alive
I seen dreams die I seen folks hated seen the devil`s slogans spray-painted seen figures of authority saying bad is good I seen the 6 o`clock news in my own neighborhood in spite of everything it`s pretty good to be alive
Chorus
I been heartbroke I been ball-busted been short-changed I been mistrusted been slandered in the streets libeled in the press I been embarrassed in the bedroom buggered by the the best in spite of everything it`s pretty good to be alive
Chorus
there`s a camaflouged tank sitting rusting in the dump there`s a camel in the desert with oil in his hump the temperature`s rising people hiding in the shade the ice cap`s melting we`re making lemonade in spite of everything it`s pretty good to be alive
