100 Good Things

I’ve got good things, so my perspective needs a radical twist

I know there’s reasons I should exist

My life is good, I just have to insist

Cuz there’s so many good things on my list

And there’s probably more that I’ve missed

I’ve got money in my checking and my savings accounts

That used to seem like unrealistic amounts

And I even deserve it

I’ve had loving tho it seems impossible when I’m lonely

There were times great women wanted to know me

And I even deserved it

I’m in shape, I mean just enough but not too outrageous

Cuz I’ve been jogging 30 minutes for ages

So I even deserve it

I’ve got art, to me that’s where my skills always stood out

I’ve been drawing all my life and I’m good now

And I keep up to deserve it

I’ve got good things so my perspective needs a radical twist

It's obnoxious but I have to insist

There’s reasons I should exist

Cuz there’s so many good things on my list

And there’s probably more that I’ve missed

I’m successful, beyond anything I ever could picture

I’m a small but thriving cultural fixture

And I think I deserve it

I’ve got friends, for talking or for drinking or eating

From the oldest to the new ones I’m meeting

And they keep me surviving

I’ve got out, to every state from Cali to Carolina

To the pyramids and great wall of China

And I still can’t believe it

My rent’s cheap, in the place I’ve always dreamed I would be

It’s the best thing that ever happened to me

But I probably don’t deserve it

The US, it’s so beautiful diverse and exciting

Tho we know a thousand problems it’s hiding

Don’t be blind to what’s great here

And there’s food, all the recipes the world has come up with

I’ve ate great things that I even got stuffed with

And I eat every day

And there’s books, at a level of such genius engagement

Pure enlightenment and pure entertainment

You just fly thru the pages

And there’s movies, from the weirdest and your absolute favorite

To your favorite no one even has made yet

Sometimes they’ve blown me away

And there’s comix, all those comix at the heart of my life

That often were the greatest art of my life

How much joy they have brought me

I’ve got good things

So my perspective needs a radical twist

I know there’s reasons I should exist

My life is good, I just have to insist

Cuz there’s 100 good things on my list

And there’s probably more that I’ve missed

And there’s ice cream, and there’s so many flavors that I’d get

And there’s flavors that I still haven’t tried yet

It’s just heaven on earth

And there’s kisses, like when me and Sally kissed down on Mott St

Sent us floating like we ain’t even got feet

I’m so happy that happened

And adventures, there were times I had some awesome exploring

All my travels and incredible touring

And I hope to do more soon

And the earth, just the smell of the dirt and the air

And all the water and plants everywhere

Unbelievable life forms

And there’s space, all the endless infinite and mind-blowing

Even just the little fraction that’s showing

It’s just too much to deal with

And fun, what hell is this thing we call fun

It happens sometimes even to everyone

Can’t deny that it feels good

And records, oh my god so many mind-blowing records

Jesus christ there are so many good record

This entire song could just have been record

Even if this song was just about records

There’d be hundreds and hundreds and hundreds I bet

And those are just all of the hundreds that I don’t even know yet

I’ve got good things

So my perspective needs a radical twist

I know there’s reasons I should exist

My life is good, I just have to insist

Cuz there’s so many good things on my list

And there’s probably more that I’ve missed
