lyrics

What if all the miserable looking folks are actually miserable?
What if all their sneering condescension’s nothing personal?
What if they're miserable?

What if the hardest part of growing up is simply giving up?
Feeling good about being paid to feel bad is all they ever had
And all they want to want

What if I get myself together and try for real to really try to heed their warning
And I spend most of what I have to give in life just getting up in the morning?

What if all the miserable looking folks are looking out for me?
What if all their looks are sizing up something that's there that I can't see?
A chance at harmony

What if all these doubts and what ifs and chills are all I'll ever feel?
What if all these goddamn doubts and chills and droughts and drills and sleeping pills
Is all I'll ever feel?

The other side of the divide between me and the world might not be worth the trip

What if I get myself together and try for real to really try to heed their warning
And I spend most of what I have to give in life just getting up in the morning?
