here I am sipping some wine
Rioja with nothing to hide
and i sit waiting to find
Obama's got a wittier side

and do we feel / good enough to have hope
do we want something / more than to cope

have you ever been in the tank
have you never had someone to thank
in the margins of your life
or in a corner of your mind
did you know how far that you sank

it's a good thing
that life is not as serious
as it seems to the waiter

it's a good thing
that Radio Shack has a store
that's open much later

it's a good thing
that friends on the line
can do something to cater
to the resonance in our skin
to the funk that I sometimes am in

cause i can eat chocolate
and cashews all night
or i can slip farther down from this fight

but do i feel good enough to have hope
do i want something more than to cope

have you ever been in the tank
have you never had someone to thank
in the margins of your life
or in a corner of your mind
did you know how far that you sank
