When I was a child I was happy as a clam
Nothing could break my shell
I loved to laugh and laugh I did
While the world it went to hell
But things are different these days
The laughs don't come easy no how
I just want to hide inside my room
I've seen enough for now
Now I'm a man I'm not so happy no more
I've seen the shit that people do
I feel frightened and more than dismayed
No one says nothing that's true
You may think I'm some old fart
You have seen me have a cow
I just want to hide inside my room
I've seen enough for now
Maybe one day we might change
But you know we probably won't
How often could we do
We could do the right thing
How often we mostly don't
People are hating like never before
They all want their piece of the pie
There's only so much to go around
And the well it's almost run dry
I wish I believed it'll get better
I wish that I could speed the plow
I just want to hide inside my room
I've seen enough for now
