Alexei Panshin's The Abyss of Wonder

 
 
 
 
 
 
All Right Blues

 
My girlfriend left me and my doggie up and kicked
Spent a hundred dollars on a watch that does not tick
Phone's been disconnected and my roof it just caved in
Tried to hit the MAC machine but I forgot my PIN

But you know what they say
At the end of the day everything's gonna be all right

Tried to kick the heroin, got hooked on methadone
My house has just been burgled, they took everything I own
My TV set is busted / the refrigerator's broke
Everybody that I know swears my life's a joke

But you know what they say
At the end of the day everything's gonna be all right

Sister's got leprosy / Grandpa's got the gout
My hairline is receding and all my teeth are falling out
Mom and Dad went crazy, they just lay in bed and stare
Gotta get out of the city, but I can't stand that country air

But you know what they say
At the end of the day everything's gonna be all right
   Everything's gonna be all right
