Lyrics The Good Life - Live at X96 / 1997 - Weezer

When I look in the mirror
I can't believe what I see
Tell me who's that funky dude
Starin' back at me?

Broken, beaten down, can't even get around
Without an old man cane, I fall and hit the ground
Shivering in the cold, I'm bitter and alone

Excuse the bitchin'
I shouldn't complain
I should have no feeling
'Cause feeling is pain

'Cause everything I need, is denied me
And everything I want, is taken away from me
But who I got to blame?
Nobody but me

And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah

Screw this crap, I've had it
I ain't no Mr. Cool
I'm a pig, I'm a dog
So 'scuse me if I drool

I ain't gonna hurt nobody, ain't gonna cause a scene
I just need to admit that I want sugar in my tea
(Hear me) Hear me, I want sugar in my tea

And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah

I wanna go back, I wanna go back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah

And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
(I wanna go back) I wanna go back
