Big Audio Dynamite - Other 99 Lyrics

Everything's not always great
Sometimes it's just fine
No one gets ten out of ten
Lucky if it's nine

No, I ain't the greatest
Sure there's imperfections
And if you gave me a test
Might not pass the inspection

Everything's not always great
Sometimes it's just fine
I ain't with the 100 crowd
I'm with the 99

Nobody is perfect
Of this I am sure
I looked into the mirror
And I saw the floor

You can draw your own conclusion
But I'll tell you mine
I ain't with the 100 crowd
I'm with the 99

Nobody is perfect
That ain't no jive
No one gets ten out of ten
You gotta strive for five

I won't say that I'm the best
That you ever had
But the bit that has been good
Sure outweighs the bad

Nobody is perfect
Tell you I don't mind
If you ain't in the 100 crowd
Join the 99

Got me some ambition
Just like all the rest
And I got a mission
But I'd settle for less

You can draw your own conclusion
But I'll tell you mine
I ain't with the 100 crowd
I'm with the 99
I ain't with the 100 crowd
I'm with the 99

Hey, hey now
Everything's not always great
Everything's not always great
Sometimes it's just fine
Sometimes it's just fine
No one gets ten out of ten
Lucky if it's nine

Everything's not always great
Everything's not always great
Sometimes it's just fine
Sometimes it's just fine
No one gets ten out of ten
Lucky if it's nine

Hey, hey now
Everything's not always great
Everything's not always great
Sometimes it's just fine
Sometimes it's just fine
No one gets ten out of ten
Lucky if it's nine

Everything's not always great
Everything's not always great
Sometimes it's just fine
Sometimes it's just fine
No one gets ten out of ten
Lucky if it's nine
