You make your own good. You can be dirt poor and be the happiest person on Earth.
I think the title was meant to be ironic. |

The lyrics do mention the bad things (Easy credit ripoffs, temporary layoffsbills) but also mention the good things (Meeting a friend, keeping your head above water and making a wave when you can, not getting hassled, not getting hustled). The song mentions more good things than bad......
