When All the Bad Things in Your Life Turn to Worth It Songtext
von John Wesley Harding

Those resourceful Romeos have all revealed
You′re the Juliet who couldn't be genteel
All the parents looked askance
With much displeasure
As you dared to dance off
With their little treasures

And the teachers who preached
Anguish and abstention
Treated you with distant condescension
Patronised your youthful indignation
With their idiotic indoctrination
Then gave you bad grades
Just for being clever
And you′re qualified
To be in debt for ever
Well, whatever


And you'll wonder what you did
And you'll think you don′t deserve it
When the bad things, bad things
When all the bad things in your life
Turn to worth it
All the bad things in your life
Turn to worth it

All the candidates who claim to know your fears
Shit silence like it′s verbal diarrhea
Suggest that your suggestions are so tired
Like they aspired to something higher
They gonna sack you
When you give them the wrong answers
Or for failing to respond
To his advances
And you're faced with a senator′s enquiry
Sequestering your private life in diaries
Those wretched Romeos now politicians
Telling all the truth but with omissions
That's their decision


And you′ll think that you've been blessed
And you thought that you were cursed
When all the bad things, bad things
When all the bad things in your life
Turn to worth it
All the bad things in your life
Turn to worth it
All the bad things in your life
Turn to worth it

The pages fly, the calendar gets thinner
Springs turns into summer into winter
Preachers will illuminate their candles
On Romeos with trousers round their ankles
The politicians surrender to indictment
The teachers sacked for lack of excitement

But these are not the reasons you endure
Revenge could never please a heart so pure
You thought your reward would be in heaven
Or at least a day job at a Seven-Eleven
While everyone around you
Ran for cover
You found a secret
Now your name is love

And you′ll wonder what you did
And you'll think you don't deserve it
When all the bad things, bad things
When all the bad things in your life
Turn to worth it
When all the bad things in your life
Turn to worth it
