For Now lyrics

PRINCETON:
Why does everything have to be so hard?

GARY COLEMAN:
Maybe you`ll never find your purpose.

CHRISTMAS EVE:
Lots of people don`t.

PRINCETON:
But then- I don`t know why I`m even alive!

KATE MONSTER:
Well, who does, really?
Everyone`s a little bit unsatisfied.

BRIAN:
Everyone goes `round a little empty inside.

GARY COLEMAN:
Take a breath,
Look around,

BRIAN:
Swallow your pride,

KATE MONSTER:
FOr now...

BRIAN, KATE, GARY, CHRISTMAS EVE:
For now...

NICKY:
Nothing lasts,

ROD:
Life goes on,

NICKY:
Full of surprises.

ROD:
You`ll be faced with problems of all shapes and sizes.

CHRISTMAS EVE:
You`re going to have to make a few compromises...
For now...

TREKKIE MONSTER:
For now...

ALL:
But only for now! (For now)
Only for now! (For now)
Only for now! (For now)
Only for now!

LUCY:
For now we`re healthy.

BRIAN:
For now we`re employed.

BAD IDEA BEARS:
For now we`re happy...

KATE MONSTER:
If not overjoyed.

PRINCETON:
And we`ll accept the things we cannot avoid, for now...

GARY COLEMAN:
For now...

TREKKIE MONSTER:
For now...

KATE MONSTER:
For now...

ALL:
But only for now! (For now)
Only for now! (For now)
Only for now! (For now)
Only for now!

Only for now!
(For now there`s life!)
Only for now!
(For now there`s love!)
Only for now!
(For now there`s work!)
For now there`s happiness!
But only for now!
(For now discomfort!)
Only for now!
(For now there`s friendship!)
Only for now (For now!)
Only for now!

Only for now! (Sex!)
Is only for now! (Your hair!)
Is only for now! (George Bush!)
Is only for now!

Don`t stress,
Relax,
Let life roll off your backs
Except for death and paying taxes,
Everything in life is only for now!

NICKY:
Each time you smile...

ALL:
...Only for now

KATE MONSTER:
It`ll only last a while.

ALL:
...Only for now

PRINCETON:
Life may be scary...

ALL:
...Only for now
But it`s only temporary

Ba-dum ba-dum
Ba-dum ba-dum
Ba dum ba-dum
Ba-da da da da
ba-da da-da da da-da
Ba-dum ba-da, ba-dum ba-da
ohhhh-

PRINCETON:
Everything in life is only for now.
