Lyrics of 'For Now' by Avenue Q

[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
Oh

[Princeton]
Everything in life is only for now
