Lyrics
Got a nemesis for whom my demise is the one and only wish
The best revenge is surely living well
A distant relative who will not believe in the motto “live and let live”
The best revenge is to live well
Confident within the intent about the way things ought to be
Applying meretricious trends, making no amends
Towards which ends? Eventually we’ll see
Once was a pessimist who believed it over-ambitious to follow his bliss
Was he right or wrong? Time will never tell
Traveled far in search of wisdom czars, who homilize what ought to be
Play a mean guitar, sing aloud to the stars, whether simple or hard,
Take this just as far as it was meant to be, oh what’s meant to be
Oh oh my soul, flow forth with me
(Axioms, convictions and beliefs), so oh oh
There’s a sweet songbird who attentively listens when there’s music to be heard
And so we journey onward towards a better realm
Knowing the best revenge is living well
