Lou Reed What's Good - The Thesis
Life's like a mayonnaise soda And life's like space without room And life's like bacon and icecream That's what life's like without you Life's like forever becoming But life's forever dealing in hurt Now life's like death without living That's what life's like without you Life's like Sanskrit read to a pony I see you in my mind's eye strangling on your tongue What good is knowing such devotion I've been around--I know what makes things run What good is seeing eye chocolate What good's a computerized nose And what good is cancer in April Why no good--no good at all What good's a war without killing What good is rain that falls up What good's a disease that won't hurt you Why no good, I guess, no good at all What good are these thoughts that I'm thinking It must be better not to be thinking at all A styrofoam lover with emotions of concrete No not much, not much at all What good is life without living What good's this lion that barks You loved a life others throw away nightly It's not fair, not fair at all What's good? Life's good-- But not fair at all
