Loudon Wainwright III - Pretty Good Day Lyrics
I slept through the night, I got through to the dawnI flipped a switch and the light went onI got out of bed and I put some clothes onIts a pretty good day so farI turned the tap, there was cold there was hotI put on my coat to go to the shopI stepped outside, and I didnt get shotIts a pretty good day so farI didnt hear any sirens or explosionsNo murders coming in form those heavy gunsNo UN tanks, I didnt see oneIts a pretty good day so farNo snipers in windows, taking a peakNo people panic, running scared through the streetsI didnt see any bodies without arms, legs, or feetIts a pretty good dayThere was plasma bandages and electricityFood, wood, and water; and the air was smoke freeNo camera crews from my TVIt was all such a strange sight to be homeNobody was frightened, wounded, hungry, or coldAnd the children seemed normal, they didnt look oldIts a pretty good day so farI walked through a park, you would not believe itThere in the park, there were a few trees leftAnd on some branches, there were a few leavesI slept through the night, got through to the dawnI flipped the switch and the light went onI wrote down my dream, I wrote this songIts a pretty good day so far
