Do you think, everything, everyone, is going mental,
It seems to me we´re spiralling outta control and it´s inevitable,
Now don´t you think,

This time is yours, this time is mine,
It´s temperamental,
It seems to me, we´re on all fours,
Crawling on our knees,
Someone help us please

Oh Jesus Christ almighty,
Do I feel alright? No not slightly,
I wanna get a flat, I know I can´t afford it,
It´s just the bureaucrats who won´t give me a mortgage,
It´s very funny cos I got your fuckin money,
And I´m never gonna get it just cos of my bad credit
Oh well I guess I mustn´t grumble,
I suppose its just the way the cookie crumbles.

Chorus

Oh, yes, I´m fine,
Everything´s just wonderful,
I´m having the time of my life.

Don´t you want something else,
Something new, than what we´ve got here,
And don´t you feel it´s all the same,
Some sick game and it´s so insincere,
I wish I could change the ways of the world,
Make it a nice place
Until that day,
I guess we stay,
Doing what we do
Screwing who we screw

Why can´t I sleep at night,
Don´t say it´s gonna be alright,
I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognaise,

and not feel bad about it for days and days and days.
All the magazines they talk about weight loss,
If I buy those jeans I can look like Kate Moss,
Oh no it´s not the life I chose,
But I guess its just the way that things go,

Chorus x2

baa ba, etc

Oh Jesus Christ almighty,
Do I feel alright? No not slightly,
I wanna get a flat, I know I can´t afford it,
It´s just the bureaucrats who won´t give me a mortgage,
Well it´s very funny cos I got your fuckin money,
And I´m never gonna get it just cos of my bad credit

Oh well I guess I mustn´t grumble,
I suppose its just the way the cookie crumbles.

But I guess its just the way that things go
I suppose its just the way the cookie crumbles,
But I guess its just the way that things go
I suppose its just the way the cookie crumbles
