lyrics

Some stuff just makes you blue though /
Don't let 'em get you down /
I know things could be better /
But it isn't worth the frown / you can always turn 'em round /

(1)
First world problems all up in your grill /
3 percent charge left, leave the message, chill /
The 12-month contract with the extra bills /
You don't need the latest tech with intent to fill /

Your time downloading those applications /
And no one gets to feel what boredom is /
Though love is just a click away, the expectations /
Hardly ever living up to what you think /

And every one is better on the internet /
Protected by a user name or that persona /
But I prefer my interactions tangible /
A face to face conversation over reading reams you wrote to /

Quantify expression of your sentiment /
Get to read it ten times again before you send 'em it /
And if a picture really paints a thousand words /
What's an in the flesh real life interaction worth? /

(Chorus)
Some stuff just makes you blue though /
Don't let 'em get you down /
I know things could be better /
But it isn't worth the frown / you can always turn 'em round /

(2)
Why don't we meet for a brew and chew the fat? /
Too scared someone sees me with you, who is that? /
The book judge and jurors out to pass a sentence /
I lack the fashion senses, probly dropping points in their estimations /

And it's clear we've got different aspirations /
But that's cool. I know I'll never be a rich man in the terms of how you define it /
But that's something that I'm fine with /

And our time here is finite /
Probly should have checked the fine print in hindsight /
Coz it's wonderful thing, or so the saying goes /
I put my faith in peace and love, you put your faith in those /

Possessions that you say you own /
If time is money then I guess I'm loaded /
They say attachment causes suffering more so I'm letting go /
I'm just grateful for the folks I've got to and get to know /

(Chorus)
Some stuff just makes you blue though /
Don't let 'em get you down /
And I know things could be better /
But it isn't worth the frown / you can always turn 'em round /
