So Far So Good

I speak to those who have accepted their fates
 Their spirits high though no chariot awaits
 People are down on this world
 But we only have one
 Isn't that better than none?
 Don't be surprised when we elect another liar
 Did you learn nothing from 5 seasons of *The Wire*
 When it comes down to it
 Everybody meant well
 Before their lives went to hell
 Oh, what does it matter?
 I'll see your best intentions
 And I'll raise a generation
 So far, so good, I'm siding with your mother
 So far, so good, be gentle with your brother
 Be good to one another
 And you'll realize
 One look into their eyes
 Consider this on your luxurious wait
 Will you find out in time or will it be too late?
 Better get on with it
 You know who I'm talking to
 Changing this world's up to you
 Life in the universe seems exceedingly rare so
 Be advised to take care
