You told me you're an orphan 
 The same old standard line 
 Then when we moved in together 
 All you did was moan and cry 
 Talkin' like you'd make it 
 On life's big movie screen 
 I had to say I loved you 
 Just to try and keep the peace 
    Hustler 
 What are you doin' with your time 
 I'm slow to catch on 
 But I think you wasted mine   
 You're running low tonight 
 Jack up and get it right 
 You know you're going down 
 Ain't it good to be alive   
 I couldn't make excuses about 
 everything you said 
 You wanna show your bruiseS 
 Let's throw a party for the band 
 Now here they come a dancin' 
 Like the powder to your nose 
 Why don't you cut your head off 
 Spite your face let's do the show     
 Hustler 
 What are you doin' with your time 
 I'm slow to catch on 
 But I think you wasted mine 
 Hustler   
 You're running low tonight 
 The station's right close by 
 Pack up your car and drive 
 Ain't it good to be alive   
 Tearing at the membrane 
 Of the first new thing in years 
 Found a nagging consolation 
 In a glass of Everclear 
 And the ugly truth has raped you 
 They're saying you're a lousy lay 
 But isn't everything that way   
 Ain't it good to be alive 
 So good to be alive
