Lyrics
Welcome to the Good Life
By Gary Skankey
Every effort, your every dollar invested in your scheme
Has brought you where you wanted to be and now you're living in your dream
In the path your love has fallen, a casualty of greed
Now you gained the world, but lost just what you need
Welcome to the good life
Yet you seem disappointed you act so surprised
Welcome to the good life
All the glitter is gone when you open your eyes
Fancy cars and spacious mansions adorn your treasure chest
Cameras flash and all admire the king in Sunday best
Long and hard you've served your master, your wealth is your reward
As you worked you slew your love with a golden sword
What would happen if you lost it all?
No one's there to catch you if you fall
Of all the things that you possess, love will outlast all the rest
