You can't pretend everything's fine

'Cause nothing goes well in this world

Sometimes, it seems everything's fine

But there's always a but on the downside

So much I take, so much I give

You can't pretend everything's fine

'Cause nothing goes well in this world

But there's always a but on the downside

And so, yes - it's fine, no - it's not fine

You have to balance the two sides

And so, yes - it's fine, no - it's not fine

I always do it, so

So much I take, so much I give

But do you seek them in happier times?

And so, yes - it's fine, no - it's not fine

I always do it, so

So much I take, so much I give
