Not So Grand

Am I a lover
Of being a failure
Or just a failure
At being a lover?
Sometimes I just wonder
Sometimes I just wonder
«Am I too much like Voltaire’s Candide
Or just some other fool?»
The good life
This is the good life
To be so young
To be so right
No, I have never
Never even changed the world
Though I’ve been told one thousand times I should want to
But no one has asked me to
Does that seem so strange to you?
That no one has asked me to?
Sideline all those tasteless
Funny little moves
That I’ve learned from you
The good life
This is the good life
To be so young
To be so right
The good life
This is the good life
To be so young
To be so right
