Corb Lund - Lives Of Attrition The Best We Can Do Lyrics

We've been fooling ourselves
Pretending that we are secured
Telling ourselves that it takes nothing to endure
All the painful and disdainful parts of living
But to go on living
Is about the best we can do

Go on livin' with lies we've been livin' with all of our lives
Takin' shelter for comfort whether or not there's a storm
Lookin' down from on high with a tear he may cry for the human condition
Lookin' down from above makes it simpler in these lives of attrition

Well I know it don't matter
The silly song and dance I like to do
But it feels pretty good, and it helps pass the time,
And I hope it can feel good for you, too
Cause feelin' good
Is about the best we can do

Feelin' good in the face of the chaos that comes down around us
In the daily facade of this world that don't offer us much
And I know you already know this deep down, underground, just like Brown
But to stare back at the nothingness and smile
Is about the best we can do

Go on livin' with lives we've been livin' with all of our lives
Taking shelter for comfort whether or not there's a storm
Lookin' down from on high with a tear he may cry for the human condition
Lookin' down from above makes it simpler in these lives of attrition

Lookin' down from above makes it simpler in these lives of attrition
