[Verse 1]
Do you think
Everything
Everyone
Is going mental?
It seems to me
We're spiralling
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
[Pre Chorus I]
Oh Jesus Christ almighty
Do I feel alright? No not slightly
I wanna get a flat I know I can afford it
It's just the bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage
It's very funny cause I got your f**ing 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
[Hook]
Oh yes, I'm fine
Everything's just wonderful
I'm having the time of my life
[Verse 2]
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
Doing what we do
Screwing who we screw
[Pre Chorus II]
Why can't I sleep at night
Don't say "it's gonna be alright"
I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognaise
And not feel bad 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 I chose
But I guess that's the way that things go
[Hook](x2)
[Pre Chorus I]
[Outro](x2)
But I guess it's just the way that things go
I suppose it's just the way the way the cookie crumbles
