Good Life
Weezer / live Lyrics

When I look in the mirror
Reflecting on myself, trying to understand what I've become

I can't believe what I see
It's hard to accept the person that I see in the mirror

Tell me, who's that funky dude
Who is this weird person that I've turned into

Staring back at me?
Staring at me and mocking me with the reality of how I've changed

Broken, beaten down
Feelings of being battered, hopeless and drained

Can't even get around
I'm struggling to move forward, lost and unsure of what to do next

Without an old man cane
I feel like I'm unable to function without assistance, a metaphor for feeling old and feeble

I fall and hit the ground
Metaphor for my inability to cope with my current situation and how I keep on falling down at every step

Shivering in the cold
Surviving in a difficult situation and feeling vulnerable against the odds

I'm bitter and alone
Feeling resentful and isolated, a person who's up against everything and everyone

Excuse the bitching
Apologizing for complaining

I shouldn't complain
Putting a negative spin on expressing my genuine emotions

I should have no feeling
Feeling completely numb, and unable to respond emotionally to life situations

'Cause feeling is pain
Suggesting that the pain of feeling emotions is too much to bear, leading to avoidance

As everything I need
My desires remain unfulfilled, leading me towards frustration

Is denied me
Feeling hopeless and out of luck, and coping with rejection

And everything I want
Desiring something that is beyond my reach, leading to disappointment

Is taken away from me
Perceiving that everything I yearn for is forever out of grasp, leading to sadness

But who do I got to blame?
Recognizing that blaming others for situations won't benefit me, leading to self-reflection

Nobody but me
Accepting that ultimately, I'm the one in charge of my life, and hence responsible for it

And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
The realization that I am not content living the way I am

It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
It's been a while since I had fun and enjoyed myself

Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
Engaging in activities that brought joy and fulfillment

It's time I got back to the good life
The realization that I deserve a good life and need to make changes in my life

And I don't even know how I got off the track
I'm unsure how I ended up where I am, suggesting that I need to self-analyze

Screw this crap, I've had it! (I've had it!)
Expressing frustration and determination to take control of the situation

I ain't no Mr. Cool
I'm not pretending to be someone I'm not

I'm a pig, I'm a dog
I'm a flawed human who makes mistakes, facing my shortcomings

So excuse me if I drool
Making fun of myself, suggesting that I'm not perfect

I ain't gonna hurt nobody
I'm not going to purposely inflict pain or damage on anyone

Ain't gonna cause a scene
I'm not going to be needlessly disruptive

Just need to admit
Accepting my faults or obligations, acknowledging my need for change

That I want sugar in my tea
Expressing a simple, innocent desire that reflects a need for self-care

Hear me? Hear me? I want sugar in my tea!
Asserting my needs clearly, asking for what I want
