Whole
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.
I'm turnin' off my radio
'Cause I can't stand to know
Why everything's so terrible
I'm switchin' off my telephone
It feels like a second home
But I'm not sure it's that comfortable
Got this world in our hands
Like a pearl in a clam
We lettin' go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Why is everything so hopeless?
Everybody's lost control
I wish that I could fill this ocean size open hole
How the hell are we still copin'
When everybody fill so broke?
I wish that I could fill this ocean size open hole
But what do I know?
I wanna go grab a megaphone
And scream till my lungs are gone
Wake up the world and let them know
Ayy, ayy-ayy, yeah
Can't just wait until you're older
To take the weight up off your shoulders
If it makes you cry
You probably do know why
Why is everything so hopeless?
Everybody's lost control
I wish that I could fill this ocean size open hole
How the hell are we still copin'
When everybody fill so broke?
I wish that I could fill this ocean size open hole
But what the hell do I know? Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
But what the hell do I know? Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
But what the hell do I know? Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
But what the hell do I know? Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Why is everything so hopeless?
Everybody's lost control
I wish that I could fill this ocean size open hole
How the hell are we still copin'
When everybody fill so broke?
I wish that I could fill this ocean size open hole
