Lyrics The Tragically Hip

The Tragically Hip

It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken

When the colour of the night

And all the smoke for one life

Gives way to shaky movements

Improvisational skills

A forest of whispering speakers

Let's swear that we will

Get with the times

In a current health to stay

Let's get friendship right

Get life day-to-day

In the forget-yer-skates dream

Full of countervailing woes

Its diverse-as-ever seen

Proceeding on a need-to-know

In a face so full of meaning

As to almost make it glow

For a good life we just might have to weaken

And find somewhere to go

Go somewhere we're needed

Find somewhere to grow

Grow somewhere we're needed

When the colour of the night

And all the smoke in one life

Gives way to shaky movements

Improvisational skills

In the forest of whispering speakers

Let's swear that we will

Get with the times

In a current health to stay

Let's get friendship right

Get life day-to-day

In the forget-yer-skates dream

Full of countervailing woes

In diverse-as-ever scenes

Proceeding on a need-to-know

In a face so full of meaning

As to almost make it glow

For a good life we just might have to weaken

And find somewhere to go

Go somewhere we're needed

Find somewhere to grow

Grow somewhere we're needed

Find somewhere to go

Let's go somewhere we're needed

Find somewhere to grow

We grow where we are needed

'Cause in the forget-yer-skates dream

You can hang your head in woe

And this diverse-as-ever scene

Know which way to go
