Wallace Smith - All for the Best lyrics

[JESUS] When you feel sad, or under a curse Your life is bad, your prospects are worse Your wife is sighing, crying And your olive tree is dying Temples are graying, and teeth are decaying And creditors weighing your purse… Your mood and your robe Are both a deep blue You'd bet that Job Had nothin' on you Don't forget that when you get to Heaven you'll be blessed Yes, it's all for the best! [JUDAS] Some men are born to live at ease, doing what they please Richer than the bees are in honey Never growing old, never feeling cold Pulling pots of gold from thin air The best in every town, best at shaking down Best at making mountains of money They can't take it with them, but what do they care? They get the center of the meat, cushions on the seat Houses on the street where it's sunny Summers by the sea, winters warm and free All of this and we get the rest But who is the land for? The sun and the sand for? You guessed! It's all for the best!

Judas: I don't know, how can you look at a speck of sawdust in your brother's eye when all the time there's a great plank in your own? Jesus: Or, how can you take the speck of sawdust out of your brother's eye when all the time there's a great plank in your own? Judas: I don't know, how can you take a speck of sawdust out of your brother's eye when all the time there's a great plank in your own? Jesus: You hypocrite! First, you take the plank out of your own eye so you can see clearly enough to take the speck of sawdust out of your brother's Judas: That's no answer to the question! Jesus: Well, did I promise you an answer to the question? Haha! [sung [Chorus] [Repeats counterpoint verses] [JESUS] You must never be distressed!
