Aces - Dragging an Ox Through Water

Aces Lyrics

I wish my life was like a John Hughes movie
Good times and easy on the dark side
I wish my life was like a John Hughes movie
Bright lights, always looking for a better life
We were looking for each other
In the bars on the west side
We were looking for the summer
When it's cold outside
This is going to be good
Life is coming up aces
Everything is coming up aces
We found a way to make money out of
Broken boys and difficult girls
Reality is wonderful
We were... waiting
For the world to begin
Things are so much better now
I have a good reason to

Want to get wasted again
We were slumming for a buzz
In a place that used to be the old school
We were happy for the pain of being
Lame enough to want to look cool
I really think that this is going to be good
Life is coming up aces
Everything is coming up aces
We can make a good living out
Of broken lives and empty hearts
Ain't this entertaining watching people fall apart
We were wasting time waiting
For the world to begin
Things are so much better now
I have a good reason to
Want to get wasted again
Black..., white trash
There isn't any limit to the shame
These people have
Good people do bad things
Have sex with an ex in the bathroom
On their wedding day
Pretty faces with no soul
Everybody needs a chance to
Win themselves a better life
Everybody wins a better life
Everybody wins a better life
Everybody wins a better life
Everybody wins a better life
