I Guess There are Worse Places to Be

Let's get a move on baby
I think we can make last call
A list of amenities is
Proudly displayed on the wall
There's cold food and warm drinks
There's a bathroom that stinks
The old bartender winks
I guess there are worse places to be
I guess there are worse places to be
It's one and a half stars
On a scale of three
I guess there are worse places to be
It's something of an oasis
For the salty people you meet
It's not on the right side of the tracks
It ain't the sunny side of the street
But you can sit at the bar
They don't care who you are
Charles Bukowski's a star
I guess there are worse places to be
I guess there are worse places to be
Al Capone used to own it
Or so they tell me
I guess there are worse places to be
Say what you want about it
Nobody minds
They just lock the door and shut the blinds
The sun never shines
I guess there are worse places to be
But you probably know
You probably already know it's time to go
The meaning of life can be found here
Philosophy in the toilet stall
The yin and yang of a shot and a cold beer
The life and death of the old eight ball
We are lost here in space
With the whole human race
It's depressing to face
But I guess there are worse places to be
I guess there are worse places to be
It may not be perfect
But it's close enough for me
I guess there are worse places
I guess there are worse places
I guess there are worse places to be
