Debbie Davis and Josh Paxton - Other Than Everything, Everything's Great

Other than everything, everything's great
The powers that be, they have made some mistakes
And what little hope's been replaced with an ache
And other than everything, everything's great

We rolled and we rambled for too many years
With stars in our eyes and blood in our ears
But baby this ain't no time to break
And other than everything, everything's great

And other than everything, everything's great
The fool on the throne, he sure keeps me awake
Those mannequin hands, man they're in on the take
And other than everything, everything's great

Well his lily white go and lull us to slumber
And the kids on the corner, man they've got his number
And there's still the old ways for old time's sake
And other than everything, everything's great

And other than everything, everything's great
That gal by the guillotine's fresh out of cake
And she's covered in tattoos and emeralds and lace
And other than everything, everything's great

She don't understand why the children are restless
With plastics for supper and ashes for breakfast
She says good things come to those who wait
And other than everything, everything's great

And other than everything, everything's fine
A heart full of shrapnel, a gut full of wine
And the man with the plan, man he's robbing you blind
And other than everything, everything's fine

And are these the nights that will tear us asunder?
And where are the gods of vengeance and thunder?
And baby this aint no time to break
And other than everything, everything's great

Everything's great
