jeffrey lewis - it could be worse lyrics

Loading...

[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
