lyrics

This song's been written
Four-hundred eighty million two-hundred fifty times before
By everyone who's ever learned to play guitar. I'm not original
But it feels so fresh to me…It feels so fresh to me

Just like I bet the drummer down the street said to his mom
Also, my friend Marilyn who really likes to draw a lot
Everyone I know who's got creative bones inside their blood
But why is it

That we're so sad?
That we're so angry and depressed
Collectively our feelings are repressed
And everything's a mess
Cause we're so sad
We've got to suffer one and all
To see the beauty in the fall
It's a necessary evil, not our fault

So when you look at all the art in this community
And say that from the outside it looks more like a pity party
Well frankly I'm offended that you never took the time to see the real need to be upset
To have something to say, to be so malcontent
And if we had the choice we'd do this with a smile but…

We're so sad
Oh, we're so angry and depressed
Collectively our feelings are repressed
And everything's a mess
Cause we're so sad
We've got to suffer one and all
To see the beauty in the fall
It's a necessary evil, not our fault

I'm so sad
I get so angry and depressed
One at a time my feelings are repressed
And yes my life's a mess
Cause we're so sad
We've got to suffer one and all
To see the beauty in the fall
It's a necessary evil, not our fault

This song's been written
Four-hundred eighty million
Two-hundred fifty times AND ONE
