Merrily We Roll Along - Now You Know Lyrics
You knowSo we'll do a new showSo you'll meet a new dameSo you'll take some timeFor personal pleasureThere gotta be endingsOr there wouldn't be beginningsRight?You got talent to blow and you're making a nameAnd that song you wrote is a national treasureYou're looking at lossesWhen you should be counting winningsRightBest thing that ever could have happenedRightSo you'll get a new flat and you'll have a few thingsStart a whole new life and learn to adore itIf you want to have weddingsThen you gotta have divorcesNo?Though it's sad and all that you get over these thingsAnd you come out somehow better for itJust because you change horsesDoesn't mean you're changing coursesRightBest thing that ever could have happenedI say best thing that ever could have happenedBest thing that ever could have happenedOne more thing not to think aboutIt was all getting much to complicatedRightAll right, now you knowLife is crummy, well, now you knowI mean, big surprisePeople love you and tell you liesBricks can fall out of clear blue skiesPut your dimple down, now you knowOkay, there you goLearn to live with itNow you knowIt's called flower's wilt, it's called apple's rotIt's called thieves get rich and saints get shotIt's called god don't answer prayers a lotOkay, now you knowOkay, now you know, now forget itDon't fall apart at the seamsIt's called letting go your illusionsAnd don't confuse them with dreamsYes sir, quite a blowDon't regret itAnd don't let's go to extremesIt's called what's your choice?It's called count to tenIt's called burn your bridges, start againYou should burn them every now and thenOr you'll never growBecause now you growThat's the killer, isNow you growYou're right, nothing's fair and it's all a plotAnd tomorrow doesn't look so hotRight, you better look at what you've gotOver here, hello? Okay, now you knowRight?It's a month at mostSure, you'll spin a few wheelsBut you don't look backJust leave all the piecesWhen you haven't got one choiceMight as well enjoy the otherRightYou'll come out to the coastWe can set a few dealsAnd I'm talking strictly major releasesAn exit from one placeIs an entrance to anotherRightBest thing that ever could haveI mean, socks have holesI mean, roads have bumpsThey make meatheads champsAnd nice guys chumpsHappenedI mean, even cream of wheat has lumpsBest thing that ever could have happenedIt was all getting much to complicated anyhowBest thing that ever could have happenedRight, we'll do a new showNo, we'll do a whole batchAnd it's over with, I'll cut the connectionGotta have endings or there wouldn't be beginningsRightWhen you're flattened this lowAnd you're starting from scratchYou can only go in one directionThe side is retiredBut there still are lots of inningsRight?Best thing that ever could have happenedBest thing that ever could have happenedI say, best thing that ever could have happenedI say, best thing that ever could have happenedIt's your time, your timeYesterday is doneSee the pretty countrysideSoon enough you're merrily, merrilyRolling alongRolling alongYou're beginning again, got another clean slateGot a whole new life, you'll learn to adore itIt's your timeIt's your timeNow you knowWhat's your choice? It's called count to tenIt's called burn your bridges, start againYou should burn them every now and thenOr you'll never knowBecause now you growThat's the killer, is now you growYou're right, nothing's fairAnd it's all a plotAnd tomorrow doesn't look so hotRight, you better look at what you've gotOver here, hello?Over here, hello?Over here, hello?Now you know, rightNow you know, rightNow you know, rightNow you know, rightNow you know, rightNow you know, rightNow you know, rightNow you know, rightRight, right, right, rightRight, right, right, rightNow you know
