I'm sitting in my living room
I'm trying to write a song
Talking 'bout how fucked the world is
How fucked the world is, yeah
But the words aren't coming
I've been giving it some decent thought
Trying to articulate
Just how fucked the world is
How fucked the world is, yeah
But the words aren't coming
I've written out some lines
I've studied every one
But after wasting so much time
I can't seem to get it done
So I'm pacing in my living room
I'm trying to write a song
Talking 'bout how fucked the world is
How fucked the world is, yeah
But the words aren't coming
I've been fighting with myself today
About how to come to terms
With just how fucked the world is
How fucked the world is, yeah
But there's too many points to make
And I'm trying to find an honest way
To put my fears into words
With just how fucked the world is
How fucked the world is, yeah
But it's more than I can take
Is it the country where I live?
Generational dissonance?
Is it decisions of those who came before
Who never gave the next a chance?
So I'm writhing in my living room
I'm trying to write a song
Talkin' bout how fucked the world is
How fucked the world is, yeah
But it's already been done.

I am a simple man with simple wants, yeah simple tastes and needs.
When I step out into the world each day I don’t let things bother me.
I see the faces in the news but I don’t pay them any mind.
(Hey!) Things around me may be burning up but I am doing fine.
“Don’t you know you shouldn’t stare?”
The world’s fucked up and I don’t care.
I’m not naive, I’m not a selfish man, I’m not some kind of jerk.
Taking the steps to make a difference just sounds like a lot of work.
“Sometimes life just isn’t fair.”
The world’s fucked up and we don’t care.
(We don’t care)
About the people living in the street.
(We don’t care)
About the families struggling to eat.
(We don’t care)
About their endless hardship and strife.
(We don’t care)
About anyone else’s life.
I just wanna laugh and live my life, I just wanna have fun.
Facing reality is such a fucking downer.
“You shouldn’t fight what isn’t there.”
The world’s fucked up and we don’t care.
(We don’t care)
About our neighbors who are sick and poor.
(We don’t care)
About the countries that are still at war.
(We don’t care)
About the things that don’t require wealth.
(We don’t care)
About anything but ourselves.
(We don’t care)
How can I be relatable here?
(We don’t care)
How can I get the message across?
(We don’t care)
Is anybody listening?
(We don’t care)
Can anyone hear me at all?
Woah, yeah.
(We don’t care)
Woah no, oh yeah.
(We don’t care)
Woah, yeah.
(We don’t care)
Woah no, oh yeah, oh yeah.
Hey. Yeah. Okay.

A short bird found my window today
It asked, "Do you wanna play?
You've got some nifty moves there, kid
How'd you like to get paid?
I've perched myself on other window sills in the past
I've made starlets out of humble nests
You've got a special something no one else has got, I said
You could be the best." (Yes.)
A short bird found my window today
It told me how to make the grade
To grow the tree you plant the seed, don't you see?
You don't get nothin' for free!
Hey, if you wanna make it through this life
Sometimes, you gotta compromise
Believing is what is real and what is right aint fine
When it comes to the bottom line
A short bird signed a deal today
It said "Hey, I've got a roost to maintain!
If you wanna land the spot to sell your art, well
You gotta play the game!" (Okay!)
Hey, if you wanna make it through this life
Sometimes, you gotta compromise
Believing is what is real and what is right aint fine
When it comes to the bottom line
A short bird picked my insides dry.
It said "I gotta eat! That ain't no crime!
Your bones will serve new homes for future crones
So, thanks for your time!" (Alright!)
Hey, if you wanna make it through this life
Sometimes, you gotta compromise
Believing is what is real and what is right aint fine
When it comes to the bottom line
A short bird found my window today.
