It’s a Good Life If You Don’t Weaken Songtext
von The Tragically Hip

When the colour of the night
And all the smoke for one life
Gives way to shaky movements
Improvisational skills

A forest of whispering speakers
Let′s swear that we will
Get with the times
In a current health to stay

Let's get friendship right
Get life day-to-day
In the forget-your-skates dream
Full of countervailing woes

It′s diverse as ever scenes
Proceeding on a need-to-know
In a face so full of meaning
As to almost make it glow


For a good life
We just might have to weaken
And find somewhere to go
(Go somewhere we're needed)
Find somewhere to grow
(Go somewhere we're needed)

When the colour of the night
And all the smoke in one life
Gives way to shaky movements
And improvisational skills

In a forest of whispering speakers
Let′s swear that we will
Get with the times
In a current health to stay

And let′s get friendship right
Get life day-to-day
In the forget-your-skates dream
Full of countervailing woes

As diverse as ever scenes
Proceeding on a need-to-know
In a face so full of meaning
As to almost make it glow


For a good life
We just might have to weaken
And find somewhere to go
(Go somewhere we're needed)
Find somewhere to grow
(Go somewhere we′re needed)
Find somewhere to go
(Let's go somewhere we′re needed)
Find somewhere to grow
(Go where we are needed)

'Cause in the forget-your-skates dream
You can hang your head in woe
And as diverse as ever scene
And know which way to go
