C5            A5
You and I, we're the same as each other
C5            A5
Can't stand to think we're the same as each other
D5            F5
So come over to mine and we'll drink some beer
C5            A5
Get on a bus and get the fuck out of here
D5            F5
Follow a star to a new messiah
C5            A5
Slit his throat for the good of the unborn,
D5            F5
Generations tripped the wire
G5
Made off with our hearts desire

D5            G5
We've never had it so good
D5      G5
Never had it so good
D5      G5
We've never had it so good,
C5
Life is sweet.


You're just like cinderella
On the screen in technicolor
Off the chart, you'll be going stellar
All your friends'll be queuing up to tell you
Your lips are full and moist
You could be the pepsi cola seller
"you've got such a lovely voice".
You've got such a lovely voice

We've never had it so good
Never had it so good
We've never had it so good,
Life is sweet.

And people die when towers fall
I've tried but I hardly even care at all
I've seen you angry and I've seen you cry
Life goes fitfully flitting by
And I would love to climb a barricade
Like every other boy you know
But the wars at home have been betrayed
By too many boys on barricades

We've never had it so good
Never had it so good
We've never had it so good,
Life is sweet.

So spare me a thought when you're old and you're finished
A listing wreck off greenwich village
Write me a letter that I'll never reply to
You know what I'm like better than I do
Tell me about how you sleep at night
Tell me about your consolations
Lie to me, say you still fight
Tell me death will be alright, oh

We've never had it so good
Never had it so good
We've never had it so good,
Life is sweet.
Life is sweet.
