Can`t Complain — текст песни (Ridgway Stan)

How you doin` bert?
Wel, not so good Charlie. My back`s gone out and I cut my finger kinda
gnarly. The job`s the same and so`s the boss. He`s still a big ass and my
wallet got lost. My wife`s sick in bed she says she`ll never get well and
all these kids today have gone to hell and all that government paperwork
caught up with me, had to hire a beancounter for an outrageous fee. And I
don7t know if the chicken or the egg is to blame, but all things
considered, I guess I can`t complain...
Cheer up, Charlies said, things could be worse.
Well, yeah, I know, but did I tell you that my landlord`s a cop, my
neighbor`s insane, but all things considered, I guess I can`t compalin...
CHORUS
Out on the water
Where the sailing men all go
The water`s high while all the fish swim low
You know what Bert, Charlie said, you got the wrong attitude. Sometimes
life`s a big game and tthe paths you can choose. Things may go wrong, but
ya gotta stand tall.
Well I know, Bert said, but well...that ain`t all. My hair`s falling
out, the roof leaks when it rains, but all things considered, I guess I
can`t complain...
CHORUS
You know what Bert, Charlie said, you`re a real loser, so I`ll see you
next week if you live `til then.
And a Bert walked out on the sidewalk, ten floors up, two men lost control
of a hoist at just the right time, and a big Steinway grand flattened
Bert like a dime. And as a crowd gathered `round and asked, what was his
name? and could it be the chicken or the egg to blame/ Well, the only
thing heard was that all things considered, he really couldn`t complain.
So if you`re a loser in life and your gun`s out of ammo, just remember
this story about Bert and the piano. `Cause if you can7t string the bow
and you`re clean out of resin, someone may have planned for you a music
lesson. So keep your eyes to the sky, it could be a brand name, and
remember all things considered, you really can`t complain....
