As Good As It Gets?

When does the rest come?
Where is all the rest?
Is this the best?
As good as it gets?
It certainly is lacking...at best.
I haven't seen the glittering gold,
Where is the rest?
I have been to the top of the mountain,
And there is just another mountain.
I've gone to the majestic fountain,
And it was dry.
No water, no maiden daughter.
If this is as good as it gets,
Then you may take my share.
If this is as good as it gets,
Then I really don't care.
I just don't care.
