Consider the disasters that we might be dealin’ with
And I guess that we are doin’ pretty well
Watch the news and hear the latest stories that are told
Throughout the world, there’s quite a bit of hell
But we’ve got it good, babe. We’ve got it good.

A roof over our heads,
A warm and comfy bed
Our health, it isn’t great, but we’ll get by.
No plagues and no war
Are waiting at our door.
We have more time to laugh instead of cry.
Our worries keep us up, both large and small,
But we’ve got it pretty good, after all.
We’ve got it good, babe.
We’ve got it good.

Death and destruction and mis’ry everywhere
People unemployed and livin’ off the state
Bullets flyin’, floods and earthquakes, hurricanes and fires -
Just consider that this might have been our fate,
Yeah, we’ve got it good, babe. We’ve got it good.

Our life is filled with blessings, and if we suffer from a curse
We brought it on ourselves – but it always could be worse.
All these things considered, if we live the way we should,
We can’t ask more of heaven, Oh, we’re doing pretty good.

A roof over our heads,
A warm and comfy bed
Our health, it isn’t great, but we’ll get by.
No plagues and no war
Are waiting at our door.
We have more time to laugh instead of cry.
Our worries keep us up, both large and small,
But we’ve got it pretty good, after all.
We’ve got it good, babe.
We’ve got it good.
