A song from my college days when I called my "band" Happy Mediocrity
lyrics
Okay, you've convinced me
your life is SO much worse than mine.
And yes, you have my sympathy.
You're justified in your contempt
for everyone around you.
You're right, the world is trying
to screw you over
it just goes on and on and on.
I'm amazed that you've kept your composure
and we'll all miss you when you're gone.
Isn't that what you want to hear?
Chorus:
Complaining can be healthy
when it's kept in moderation,
but you've pushed it far
beyond an art form into obsession.
And with each whiny word
you're getting more annoying
than any of those things
that you feel the need to whine about.
I'm astounded at you're lack of patience
and your gross intolerance.
And I'm disgusted with your attitude
towards destiny and fate
and what you think is fair.
There's one thing I can say for you
at least you're consistent.
You re-lose my respect for you each day.
But I know that we should all forgive you
because we know that's just your way.
