SO FAR SO GOOD
Words & Music by Rob Bender, Published by Bender Creative Group, BMI copyright 2022

Living in the city of angels
Raining bums and billionaires

So many chiefs, so many rules
Not enough time, too many fools
Make it or break it, moving too fast
Run like a dog, don’t wanna be last

Go on and rush around up and down the road, like there’s nothing to see
From crib to crypt, it’s slash n’ burn n’ run, from point A to point B

Pay & Obey. Sit! Drop It! Bad Boy! Stay!
It’s all cool, I’m doing fine, so far so good
Got your highs, got your lows, so far, so far-so good

Living in the city of angels
High tide rising everyday

Alternate viewpoints, science deniers, fantasy chasers, mudslides & fires
Internal combustion, stay in your lane
If you live in the river you better pray it don’t rain
Tweakers n’ geekers, imposters n’ Oscars, garbage flows to the sea
Guns in the car rack, drones on the tarmac, and they call this a sanctuary

Mega sale today, lose weight and keep it off, now for some late breaking news
Mary the virgin appeared on the internet, clutching NBA shoes

Have you crossed that bridge?
Have you lit that match?
Have you looked around behind you?
Seen the flames at your back?

Is your ship still sailing?
Are heavy seas prevailing?
Is your captain failing?
Have you started bailing?

Pay & Obey. Sit! Drop It! Bad Boy! Stay!
It’s all cool, I’m doing fine (so far so good)
It all comes and goes, ebbs and flows (so far so good)
Just cause you can, doesn’t mean that you should now (so far so good)
All good things must come to an end (so far so good)
