It Only Gets Worse

Words and Music

Lyrics

It'll never get better
It'll only get worse
And the point of this song
Is to serve to remind you
Of life's certain curse
It'll only get worse

You ain't getting no younger
You just keep getting old
Your skin gets wrinkled
Your brain gets foggy
And your bones get cold
You just keep getting old

Things ain't getting cheaper
It keeps costing you more
And so you work like a dog
Just to keep out of debt
It makes you feel like a whore
It keeps costing you more

You can talk about good love
But you can't be sure
Just as soon as you leave
You know your main squeeze
Might be sneaking next door
You can't be too sure

You can talk about good drugs
But you never can tell
You could shoot up a cure
That's a little impure
And make you feel unwell
Yeah, you never can tell

And you can talk about good luck
There ain't no such thing
A day at the races
A trip to Las Vegas
You could live like a king
There ain't no such thing

There will never be world peace
There will always be war
We'll fight to the death
Till there ain't no one left
To be keeping up score
There will always be war

There ain't no solution
There ain't enough to go around
The pain and despair
Will just always be there
Till you're deep in the ground
There ain't enough to go around
