Nothing's really bad, brother Nothing's really that good either, it's all in your attitude So try out that fine platitude Things work out in the end, brother I could say I love you til I mean it, til you mean it too And I believe in paradoxes floating through the air Something awful happens one minute Something beautiful the next Would you say yes to the crackling of darkness that you see? Pretty soon the sun is shining out and onto everything It's fine by you, fine by me Nothing's ever really bad you see And nothing's really that good either There is never any better place to be What the hell's the big idea? People often go swimming In their favorite notion or an ocean or a lake Even babies they know how to swim if given proper help Believe me, I'm afraid of drowning too, so please just hear me out It's fine by you, fine by me Nothing's ever really bad you see And nothing's really that good either There is never any better place to be I once met a bad, bad person He was so unkind to me I wrote two years of songs about him It just happened naturally I then realized there is no bad, just people learning many things At many different paces, some resist and some learn easily It's fine by you, fine by me Nothing's ever really bad you see And nothing's really that good either There is never any better place to be
