I grew up in a little suburbia
i graduated at the top of my class
my parents loved me, my friends they all envied
the kind of life that they all knew that i had
i got accepted to an ivy league college
my mom and dad paid every step of the way
i�m graduated now in financial freedom
i�m getting thousands of job offers a day
But uncle cliffy said to follow my passion
he told me i should always do what i like
i�ve always dreamed of someday being a rock star
so i went out and did my hair in a spike
i got a tattoo and a couple of piercings
i threw out all my abercrombie and fitch
but when i started on my rock and roll lyrics
i realized there might be one tiny hitch
Cause i ain�t had no dire trauma
and i ain�t got no burning pain
ain�t got no reason to be angry
ain�t got no reason to complain, yeah
I�m trying to write a depressing rock song
but everything in my life is ok
i ain�t got no depressing story
i�ve never really even had a bad day
My girlfriend told me she�d be into a threesome
i won the lottery the first time i played
i saved a family from a burning apartment
i'm being honered in a local parade
i've just been chozen as the new dalai lama
i won the nobel prize for just being me
i wish so bad that something awful would happen
so i can finally feel some kind of grief
Cause i ain't got no brooding anger
and i can't bring myself to hate
i'm so happy and elated
everything is just so great, yeah
I�m trying to write a depressing rock song
but everything in my life is ok
how will i ever make the top 40?
if i don�t scream and yell and fuss and complain?
I�m trying to write a depressing rock song
but everything in my life is ok
i�m trying to sing about how tough that i�ve had it, but
the silver spoon, it always gets in my way
I�m trying to write a depressing rock song
but everything in my life is ok
i ain�t got no depressing story
but i won�t let this killer riff go to waste
(i�m trying to write a depressing rock song)
i�m so happy
(i�m trying to write a depressing rock song)
i�m so happy
(i�m trying to write a depressing rock song)
i�m so happy
(i�m trying to write a depressing rock song)
i�m so happy
(i�m trying to write a depressing rock song)
i�m so happy
