Lyrics
[Chorus] I'm up all night just where I'm laying I've got no god so I'm not praying All I have is just to keep on saying ehh I guess it could be worse [Verse] War in Ukraine on T.V People talking about World War 3 I had the same qualms everyone I know did Like atom bombs? We're not even done with Covid! [Chorus] I'm up all night just where I'm laying I've got no god so I'm not praying All I have is just to keep on saying ehh I guess it could be worse [Verse] Some say the first nukes for Manhattan The next minute Moscow will flatten My dad says nyehh whatever they've claimеd They won't all land right where thеy've aimed [Chorus] So I'm here awake where I've been laying If I had a god i would be praying All i have is to just keep on saying ehh I guess it could be worse [Verse] My heart died in 2016 Trump disproved all what life should mean 9/11 has left me less than whole But this was the 9/11 of my soul [Chorus] Now I'm up all night just where I'm laying And there's no god or I'd be praying All i do is keep on saying ehh I guess it could be worse [Verse] My heart is pounding, stomach's churning East coast drowning, west coast burning And the irony is almost funny That my anxiety drove away my honey [Chorus] Now I'm up alone just where I'm laying I've got no god so I'm not praying All I've got is to just keep on saying ehh I guess it could be worse The news is only non stop slaughter Refugees at every border Headlines so filled up with blood They skipped Australia's massive flood [Chorus] And I'm up all night just where I'm laying I've got no god so I'm not praying All I've got is to just keep on saying ehh I guess it could be worse [Verse] Global crises all deep and systemic Then Trump then plus world-wide pandemic Now war that gets more huge each hour With huge crazed nuclear superpower? The whole planet shut a couple years ago What can't happen can? Oh that's nice to know Now I've been so doomed and I've been so gloomed Game over! I'm totally consumed Now literally, here's how I think When I'm awake for hours on the brink I'm like, "Even if no human is left alive, there's probably fish that could survive" That's how I cheer myself up now To calm myself and sleep that's how In daylight yea, it sounds perverse But that's how I cling to it could be worse [Chorus] So now again all night here laying I got no god so I'm not praying All I got is to keep on saying ehh I guess it could be worse [Verse] Is it my fault these things all hurt me I swear I'm nice please don't desert me! I'm more laughs than Laurel and Hardy Can't you just I'm fun at a party A song should have a happy ending But if I write one now I'd be pretending I need some way to not sound bleak I guess I shouldn't even speak *whistle outro* [outro] No I can't! I can't end there! It still is better to fight despair! Until I find some kind of better verse All I've got right now is.. I guess.. It could be worse
