All for the Best |
When you feel sad, or under a curse |
Your life is bad, your prospects are worse |
Your wife is crying, sighing… |
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 go to Heaven you’ll be blessed. |
Yes, it’s all for the best… |
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 at 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… |
When you feel sad, or under a curse |
Your life is bad, your prospects are worse |
Your wife is crying, sighing… |
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 go to Heaven you’ll be blessed… |
You guessed! |
It’s all for the |
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 at 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 |
You must never be distressed |
Yes, it’s all for the… |
All your wrongs will be redressed |
Yes, it’s all for the… |
Someone’s got to be oppressed! |
Yes, it’s all for the best!!! |
