原文歌詞:
It's one big shade of gray
And the dark kind, I'm afraid to say.
Because there's war and fighting
And the bad guy often wins
So you have to find some comfort
In the smallest little things
There's shouting and there's stealing
There are mortgages to pay
But that's a grown-up thing, and you are still a kid today
The prospects for society are turning for the worst
The environment is suffering and might not be reversed
But at least the nasty kid who makes every day so rough
In the end gets hit by karma
Which will kinda make you laugh
And, sure, the future's looking pretty grim
The light on the horizon is pretty dim
But you're a kid and all of life is still ahead of you
Unlike the 90 - something guy who got the avian flu
Life ain't perfect, it's meh
Some bits are okay, but most of it is ugh
Life ain't perfect, it's meh
You got to find the good
That's in this great big load of...Pbht!
And, yes, the more you work at it
The worse it seems to get
Looking at the news
Can make you break out in a sweat
That's the way life is so you gotta deal with it
There's not much else to say right now
To lift your spirit
Tell me how's all that
Suppose to make me feel better?
My life's unraveling
Just like threads pulled from a sweater
There's no sunshine in my future
It is gray, desaurated
Tell me why I shouldn't feel so deflated
Because...Because...
If you stop halfway up the mountain
You will never see the view
When you look how far you've climbed
You'll find the courage to pull through
You'll wonder how on Earth
You can put up with all of this
Then you'll come across a memory of perfect bliss
So keep following the light
No matter how much your heart aches
'Cause this sad old world
Will need your hope to fix it when it breaks
And at times when you can't take it
And you want the day to end
Take my hand and you will find
Life is beautiful, my friend.
