No Complaints

Sometimes all it takes to make you feel better
is a little light laughter and some nice clear weather
but around here its always raining
and the jokes people tell leave me ashamed

but im not complaning, another day another dollar
i try to be the leader of all these sad followers
its hard to weed out all the prank callers
so thank allah i speak frankly to all the kings commoners

I ride my bike gazing at ominous dark skies
and hide my light naked with the promise of star flight
but sometimes harsh lies tear apart smart tribes
but people still try and start forest fires

we sit in tree houses watching it all burn
then sit back and reflect on what we've all learned
we should have all tried to make things better
we're stuck in competition instead of sticking together

its like a new car and we're wrecking the leather
disrespecting the spreader I'm expecting something clever
but its never what you want, its just what you get
and i get it now because life hasnt lived
