This Is The Best

lyrics

THIS IS THE BEST

This is the best that we can do
This is the best that we can do

Caught up in a world right in front of me
Maybe I go South, meet my destiny
Make believe I drive, kick it into gear
Make a mental note ‘til the coast is clear

No one is to blame, I just don’t agree
Please let me explain my philosophy
Give it to the poor, give it to the rich
Maybe I’m confused as to which is which

This is the best, this is the best
The best we can do

Every now and then everything I do
Mixes me a drink and I think of you
If it’s in the air and it gets around
Might as well believe that it’s homeward bound

No one is to blame, I just can’t agree
Please let me explain my philosophy
I give it to you, you give it to me
No one will complain as long as it is free

This is the best, this is the best
The best we can do
