You Never Had It Better (Lowe/Tulin) Why do people's passions complicate the best laid plans Can you stop the hourglass if you hold it in your hands You know you feel like runnin' every time you see a cop Is it more than you can bear, you know you gotta stop You better stop Get yourself together you never had it better Get yourself together you never had it better You're runnin' down the street and you see everybody walkin' The bomb's the scare on tuesday next, you heard your friends All talking China's gonna blow us up, they've got the means you know You know you'd like to run away there's no place left to go You better stop Get yourself together you never had it better Get yourself together you never had it better Who writes up the laws that all the people seem to keep Would I get arrested if I said he was a creep Children walk the icy streets alone without no shoes Do you think you'll overcome 10 million bar-b-ques? You better stop Get yourself together you never had it better Get yourself together you never had it better
