lyrics

Could've Been Worse

words & music Allan Thomas

Somehow or other it could've been worse
Like having your car stuck in reverse
Being subject to bad rhyming verse
Whoa now could've been worse
It could’ve been worse

You get the runaround instead of reimbursed
Being put under a spell or a curse
Falling overboard almost getting immersed
Try to remember it could've been worse always be worse

Coming in last when you should'a been first
Not receiving your just desserts
Your reputation getting besmirched
Like I said before it could've been worse

Can't predict one second to the next
Things can flip 180 like on Everest
Unless your riding in the back of a hearse
Don't forget it could've been worse
Things could’ve been worse
Always be worse

Throat's dry waters dispersed Could be lyin' in the desert dyin' of thirst If you don't need a full time nurse Then I repeat things could've been been worse Always be worse

Waiting in vain for tiny windblown surf
Or have someone steal your piggy bank or purse
Longtime lover leaves you in the lurch
Whoa now could've been worse much worse

Think you got it bad take a good look around
Bound to be somebody even further down
When things become highly adverse
Better keep in mind things could've been worse much worse

Life's cruel and capricious I've done the research
Knock you off your high and mighty perch
As you bounce from the bottom it might sound terse
But you must remember it could've been worse
Whoa now much worse always be worse

Even worse always be worse
Even worse always be worse
