John Oszajca - It Ain't So Bad lyrics

The real-life Robin Hood's man of discontent He can't even sell his story, he's been proven innocent There's a local tavern that he frequents for breakfast He sips vodka and orange juice with two homicide detectives Carved in a tabletop there lies a sentence It reads, "The road to Hollywood is paved in good intentions" This feels like one of those things Where there's a big cloud comin' And it's filled up with rain, And the clothes are out to dry. k** a couple of hours walking up and down first avenue. Had a conversation with a meth-addicted prostitute. Heard her say that she admired the way he turned his back on this God of man's, He shook his head and his silence said, "Hold on to what you can" They pa**ed by a man who played guitar to pay the rent, He'd been there for a couple of hours but he hadn't made a cent. This feels like one of those things Like on the first day of school When no one knew your name But you didn't let them see you cry. This is my life as I decree it, But, Baby, don't feel sad. This is the world as I see it, But, it ain't so bad. Our hero headed home, the sky was gettin' dark, He thought he better get indoors before the city slipped apart Opened up the ice-box, you could smell his disease, Found himself some supper and some leftover Chinese, And a left over fortune and it's mustered covered sentence Read, "The road to Hollywood is paved in good intentions." This feels like one of those things Like when you look in the mirror But you can't escape your face, But it's all right, baby, it's all right. This is my life as I decree it, But, Baby, don't feel sad. This is the world as I see it, But, it ain't so bad. But, it ain't so bad. But, it ain't so bad. But, it ain't so bad.
