Loudon Wainwright Iii - Pretty Good Day lyrics

I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn I flipped a switch and the light went on I got out of bed and I put some clothes on It's a pretty good day so far I turned the tap, there was cold there was hot I put on my coat to go to the shop I stepped outside, and I didn't get shot It's a pretty good day so far I didn't hear any sirens or explosions No murders coming in form those heavy guns No UN tanks, I didn't see one It's a pretty good day so far No snipers in windows, taking a peak No people panic, running scared through the streets I didn't see any bodies without arms, legs, or feet It's a pretty good day There was plasma bandages and electricity Food, wood, and water; and the air was smoke free No camera crews from my TV It was all such a strange sight to be home Nobody was frightened, wounded, hungry, or cold And the children seemed normal, they didn't look old It's a pretty good day so far I walked through a park, you would not believe it There in the park, there were a few trees left And on some branches, there were a few leaves I slept through the night, got through to the dawn I flipped the switch and the light went on I wrote down my dream, I wrote this song It's a pretty good day so far
