Seemed Like a Good Idea (At the Time)

Making bad decisions is one of my hobbies

And if you ask me why you know I'll probably play dumb

Most of the time my will precedes my reason

And I don't think it through as a rule of thumb

Like getting stuck behind the garbage truck

Sooner or later, I'm gonna run outta luck

'Cause it seemed like a good idea at the time

I guess that's just how the planets aligned

Messing up without reason or rhyme

But it seemed like a good idea at the time

In the right place at the absolute wrong time

Is the where and when, I find myself all day

Bad timing, bad choices, by the second

Just a sad, sad character in a cosmic play

Like having just one more last drink

And waking up with some brand-new ink, I didn't think

Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time

I guess that's just how the planets aligned

Messing up without reason or rhyme

But it seemed like a good idea, at the time

So making bad life choices, well, it's kinda my thing

Doubt if I'll ever look, before I leap

And I'll wander through this life, just a happy idiot

And what I've sown is probably what I'll reap

Oh, just like taking home another sweet young thing

Waking up in Vegas with a brand-new ring

Whoa, 'cause it seemed like a good idea at the time

Half my life could be considered a crime

Constructing crooked mountains to climb

But it seemed like a good idea at the time

Seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea

Screwing up without reason or rhyme

But it seemed like a good idea at the time

Seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea

No buying seat at the scene of the crime

'Cause it seemed like a good idea at the time
