Anthem of Well-Meaning
I heard you were feeling fine
And it's okay, you know
It's fine to just be feeling fine
And it's okay to be okay you know
I'm not sure what you mean
When you
Say there were plans you had that never changed
Well just get on them, you're not dying
Just pick up the reins
And have a coffee, take it easy
Getting laid might clear your mind
All things considered, this is not so bad
Think of all the things you could have never had
There's always places suffering
And people who are doing worse than you
And maybe it's not what you expected
Year after year of being fine
But you can't be anything
Other than you are
Ain't that right
Ain't that simple
Ain't that easy
You can't expect the answers
To just fall out of the sky
No, we can't be perfect people
But I think that we can try
And maybe you should be a little grateful
For the fact that everyone around you cares about your business
And haven't written you off as a lost cause
Because if you don't start trying, they might just give up
It's not that they don't love you, it's just kind of tough
To sympathize with someone who just
Doesn't want to
Doesn't want to
Doesn't want to
be
And maybe that means it's nothing simple
So maybe that means that you should try
Cause you can't be anything
Other than you are
Ain't that right
Ain't that simple
Ain't that easy
You can't expect the answers
To just come out of the sky
No, we can't be perfect people
But I think that we'll survive
Why can't you just be happy?
This thing can't last that long
Your life is pretty great
So just tell us what went wrong
I'm not saying you deserve this
I'm just saying people change themselves
You can't be anything
Other than you are
Ain't that right
Ain't that simple
Ain't that easy
You can't expect the answers
To just fall out of the sky
No, we can't be perfect people
But I think that we can try
