Hand in My Pocket Lyrics

[00:10.46] I'm broke but I'm happy, I'm poor but I'm kind
[00:15.65] I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
[00:20.85] I'm high but I'm grounded, I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
[00:26.00] I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby
[00:30.26] What it all comes down to
[00:35.11] Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine
[00:41.19] 'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
[00:44.26] And the other one is giving a high five
[00:49.41]
[00:51.98] I feel drunk but I'm sober, I'm young and I'm underpaid
[00:57.17] I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
[01:02.42] I care but I'm restless, I'm here but I'm really gone
[01:07.52] I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby
[01:11.88] What it all comes down to
[01:16.77] Is that everything's going to be quite alright
[01:22.74] 'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
[01:25.86] And the other one is flicking a cigarette
[01:30.85]
[01:53.41] What it all comes down to
[01:58.26] Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
[02:04.38] 'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
[02:07.46] And the other one is giving a peace sign
[02:12.74]
[02:15.25] I'm free but I'm focused, I'm green but I'm wise
[02:20.43] I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby
[02:25.54] I'm sad but I'm laughing, I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
[02:30.80] I'm sick but I'm pretty, baby
[02:34.99] And what it all boils down to
[02:39.84] Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
[02:45.99] But I've got one hand in my pocket
[02:49.03] And the other one is playing the piano
[02:55.78] And what it all comes down to, my friends, yeah
[03:00.81] Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine
[03:06.76] 'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
[03:09.85] And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
[03:12.97]
