[Life is full of surprises, full of ups and downs
And so, to have a silver lining, first there must be...]

You look so pretty
If pretty is pretty small
You don't have money
Or anything at all
Well how's a sad sad sad sad sad song really gonna help you?

There's always something
To scream about
There's always someone in the world to do without
Well if screaming solves your problems well I guess you better let it all out

Look at our family crawling into cannons, and watch 'em blow
I wonder which'll go BOOM and which ones just explode?
If you care like I do, then why don't you care at all
Look at our family graining into salt
I just feel like I'm a dying species here

Check out these peasants with their cuban cigars
While all their bosses strangle themselves out on Mars
Well it's a mad mad mad mad mad world trailing behind us

I know your problems are really really real
You got six villages to pillage, rape and steal from
And afterwards you'll fuck another lonely guy to buy you a happy meal

Look at our family rotting in the canyon, yes I know
It's such a long way down, getting longer every generation
I mean if you feel like I do, then why don't you feel at all, my love?

[We're all starving to death]

If you care like I do, then why do you care at all?
I mean I feel like I'm a dying species here

I'm never gonna stop
I'm never gonna stop
I'm never gonna stop
I'm never gonna stop

Until the morning comes scorching back to find me
Don't wake me now I'm dreaming
Of fucking some old story
A mother nature melody
The holy spirit in me
Is surely going to kill me
I know it's going to kill me
I hope it's going to
Hope it's going to
Hope it's going to

You look so pretty
If pretty is pretty small
You don't have money
Or anything at all
How is a sad sad sad sad sad song really going to help you...
