"Things Aren't So Bad After All" lyrics

Night after night I've the quickest of minds
Writhing in spasms of pleasure
Time after time I've the wickedest lines
Step right up for the poisonous bile

Things aren't so bad after all
Things aren't so bad after all

Come one come all - I'll take all of you down
At the end of the day that's all I've got
God struck me down with his right hand
And I became half-man and half-too-disturbing-to-contemplate

Things aren't so bad after all
Things aren't so bad after all, after all of them go
When they go it's all sunshine and love in the world
Things aren't so bad after all of them go

Bend the knee before the gilded throne
Kiss the ring pretend it's all a joke

Now when his majesty calls I appear
When he beckons, I'm there with the laughter
And if I'm dying inside there's a bright side
My teeth in their flesh like a benzedrine puff adder

Things aren't so bad after all
Things aren't so bad after all, after all of them go
When they go it's all sunshine and love in the world
Things aren't so bad after all of them go
After all of them go
After all of them go
After all of them go
