The Downtrodden Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everything is horrible, yeah, really really really terrible
I'm really depressed, I'm really downtrodden
I'm downtrodden square uh-huh
The whole world is doomed, yeah. We're all gonna die.
25,472 people die every single minute uh-huh oh yeah
Seventeen hundred and fifty people just died
Cancer, death, AIDS, inflation, taxes, George Bush
Hell, Satan, cancer of the face
Cancer of the colon
Cancer of the wrist
And John Denver on compact disc
