What's Good (The Thesis) - Lou Reed

Life’s like a mayonnaise soda

And life’s like space without room

And life’s like bacon and ice cream

That’s what life’s like without you

Life’s like forever becoming

But life’s forever dealing in hurt

Now life’s like death without living

That’s what life’s like without you

Life’s like sanskrit read to a pony

I see you in my mind’s eye strangling on your tongue

What’s good is knowing such devotion

I’ve been around — i know what makes things run

What good is seeing eye chocolate

What good’s a computerized nose

And what good was cancer in april

Why no good — no good at all

What good’s a war without killing

What good is rain that falls up What good’s a disease that won’t hurt you

Why no good, i guess, no good at all

What good are these thoughts that i’m thinking

It must be better not to be thinking at all

A styrofoam lover with emotions of concrete

No not much, not much at all

What’s good is life without living

What good’s this lion that barks

You loved a life others throw away nightly

It’s not fair, not fair at all

What’s good?

Oh, baby, what’s good?

What’s good?

What’s good?

not much at all

Hey, baby, what’s good?

(what's good?)

What’s good?

(what's good?)

What’s good?

(what's good?) not much at all

What’s good?

(what's good?)

What’s good?

(life's good)

Life’s good (life's good)

What’s good?

(life's good) but not fair at all
