What's the matter now?   Did your Daddy not buy you that new car?   What's the matter now?   Are you finally scared that you have gone too far?      You might ask us how we are as if you care   It's just an opportunity to compare   Reaffirm that you're no average Joe   Living in some perfect world that we'll never know      Oh if you don't mind then I would quite   Like to live your life for just one day   Cos I'd be so much happier where you are now   Could do so much if I was where you are now   But I know it's never to be      What's the matter now?   Can you not understand why things aren't going right?   What's the matter now?   Will no-one answer their phone to you tonite?      Well, don't get me wrong, I've got no problem   With how you want to live your life   But you could keep it to yourself   Every once in a while, and try wiping off that self-satisfied smile      Oh if you don't mind then I would quite   Like to live your life for just one day   Cos I'd be so much happier where you are now   Could do so much if I was where you are now   But I know it's never to be
