Nothing Is Perfect - Live at John F. Kennedy Stadium, 13th July 1985

There's plenty of food on the table
Lots of love in the house
The children all do what they're able to do
There's so much to much to be happy about

I got a woman standin' beside me
She really knows how to stand by her man
She's strong and she's soft and she's honest to me
She really helps me to be a good man

But nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
Look in the shadow to see
He only gave us the good things so we'd understand
How life without them would be

There's plenty of wheat on the prairies
Lots of coal in the mines
We got soldiers so strong, they can bury their dead
And still not go back shooting blind

There's women and men on the workforce
Doing fort hours plus overtime
So the hostages held at the airport
Can come home to something worthwhile

Nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
Only look in the shadow to see
He only gave us the good things so we'd understand
What a life without them would be (how's that?)

Well, nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
Just look in the shadow to see
He only gave us the good things so we'd understand
What life without them would be

And there's plenty of food on the table
Lots of love in the house
The children all do what they're able to do
We got so much to be happy about

I got a woman standin' beside me
She really knows how to stand by her man
She's strong and she's soft and she's honest to me
She really helps me to be a good man

But nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
Ooh-ooh-ooh
He only gave us the good things so we'd understand
Ooh-ooh-ooh
No, nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan
