I heard it on a Saturday night
You hopped on that last minute flight
I can't say that I was surprised
But Imma let you finish girl, I'm sure you tried

I know you're down in the dumps
But at least you're rich, and your songs don't suck
So take that 13 for luck and find
There's 100 others waiting in line

Whatever, it's for the better
Hey hey, whatever, it's for the better

I bet you see the tabloids around
Throwing your face all over the town
They say you'll probably write him a song
Five times platinum, I doubt if they're wrong

I know you're down in the dumps
But at least you're rich, and your songs don't suck
So take that 13 for luck and find
That there's 100 others waiting in line

Whatever, it's for the better
Hey hey, whatever, it's for the better
