Текст песни: The Great Ohio Desert + перевод

Patiently you sat, and you listened

And you cried of what beauty I had made

And I said «don't be sad, I’m just tryin' to be uplifting

But it all comes out wrong in such a pessimistic way.»

Maybe life’s not all that bad

Maybe life’s not all that sad anymore

Patiently you sat by the steeple and you prayed

For all that’s good to come your way

But with arms folded tight you missed all of the handouts

With your head facing down, and your ears all clogged up

Maybe life ain’t all that bad

Maybe life’s not all that sad anymore

Patiently you took to the streets

And you fought for what was yours and what was mine

And they said «Kid, grow up, this ain’t time to be messin'»

We’re all serious in some narcissistic, sad sarcastic way

Maybe life ain’t all that bad

Maybe life’s not all that sad anymore

Money grows on family trees

And the likelihood of livelihood does fade

But each awful song or album

Each lyric never listened

Is outweighed by a day just like today
