Things Are Not Looking Good

There's a fox in the chicken run, a diamond down the loo The scarecrow's fallen over, I don't know what to do There's a tattered coat in the yard hanging off a stick Trainers on a power line thrown up by a dick There's weevil in the cotton field, poison in the well The microwave just caught on fire, the pick up's shot to hell Things are not looking good Things are not looking good (Looking good now) Life don't go the way it should Things are not looking good Momma's in the counting house eating curds and whey Poppa's in the barrel house each and every day My baby brother's in the barn cooking up the meth Little sister's on the phone tweeting 'bout herself I tell them of the benefits of staying on at school They shake their heads and say I'm just a crazy old fool Things are not looking good (Looking good now) Things are not looking good (Looking good) Life don't go the way it should Things are not looking good The azaleas are overgrown the clematis is parched Arthritis is my newest friend I've got a fallen arch Relative to lots of folks I'm living like a king I know it's just a bubble, a bubble that I'm in A lepton fired in CERN arrived before it left Albert Einstein's universe is just about to melt Things are not looking good (Looking good now, looking good now) Things are not looking good (Looking good) Life don't work out like it should Things are not looking good Hey Bob, why don't you play somethin'? When I started on this road I looked like Yves Montand Danced like Fred Astaire sang like Sarah Vaughn Keeping up the vanity you're howling at the moon A stranger said the other day I'm like a ancient ruin The populis is polarised, sense has flown away New stuff always happens I wish it all away Things are not looking good (Looking good now, looking good now) Things are not looking good (Looking good) Life don't go the way it should Things are not looking good Things are not looking good Things are not looking good
