Tragically Hip - It's a Good Life if You Don't Weaken lyrics

When the colour of the night

and all the smoke for one life

gives way to shakey movements,

improvisational skills,

a forest of whispering speakers

let's swear that we will

get with the times,

in a current heath to stay

let's get friendship right

get life day-to-day

in the forget-yer-skates dream

full of countervailing woes

in diverse-as-ever scenes

proceeding on a need-to-know

in a face so full of meaning

as to almost make it glow

O' for a good life, we just might have to weaken

and find somewhere to go

go somewhere we're needed

find somewhere to grow

grow somewhere we're needed.

when the color of the night

and all the smoke in one life

gives way to shakey movements,

improvisational skills

in the 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-yer-skates dream

full of countervailing woes

in diverse-as-ever scenes

proceeding on a need-to-know

in a face so full of meaning

as to almost make it glow

O' for a good life, we just might have to weaken

and find somwhere to go
