from Song A Week, Volume 7 by James Tristan Redding

/

about

Written with, and performed by, Dave Matzner.

lyrics

There's a voice inside my head
Let me tell you what it said
You're gonna' worry all day long
That you're doin' it all wrong

The voice says I look bad
I'm short fat and oh so sad
I told the voice inside my head
It's as good as it's gonna 'get

So if you hear this voice
Know that you have a choice
'Cause when the sun has set
It's as good as it's gonna' get

You know it's kinda' funny
How we always chase the money
Wish we could laugh away the debt
But it's as good as it's gonna' get

When you're strivin' to be the boss
Just know what that will cost
Maybe ditch the private jet
'Cause it's as good as it's gonna' get
