Lyrics

Sing this story of everything, uh Living, dying, lying, denial Sing this story of everything, sing Here's a story for you that will Make your head spin 'round Some troubled soul walks in the church And guns everyone one down What did that congregation do? They forgave that boy somehow, oh yeah Our do-nothing congress never make mistakes (Check 'em) Because they don't show up to work Except to give themselves a raise The audacity of hope makes every bigot shake Oh yeah That's the story of everything That's the story of everything That's the story of everything You can live, you can die But I know we gotta try to get along Get along Living, dying, lying, denial On mainstreet USA everybody's closin' shop Because them that's gon' get richer It's the have and the have nots My cousin stays on Welfare (mm, mm, mm) 'Cause it pays more than a job, oh yes it does Now everytime they talk about the way it used to be You keep on living in the past Don't do a damn thing for me Don't tell me how it works I tell you how it needs to be, oh yes I will That's the story of everything That's the story of everything That's the story of everything, yeah You can live, you can die But I know we gotta try to get along, yeah Living, dying, lying, denial Throw them hands up, don't y'all dare stop tryin Stompin' those feet and gasoline on these deucies Save these babies, been alone as merry go crazy Breeze like the same chuck verse I'm stuck in Cursing worse than the new blues, non-stuttering What the OMG? SMH Views of rating, news of hating Things get far gone if ya'll waiting My mama held me in her arms, the same as I hold mine I say my prayers and tell my babies everything is fine (Uh huh) Sometimes I break down These are surely troubled times Oh, yes they are 'Cause that's the story of everything (Everything) That's the story of everything Sing it, sing it, sing it now That's the story of everything, yeah You can live, you can die (You can live, you can die) But I know we gotta try to get along, yeah (We gotta try to get along, oh) That's the story of everything That's the story of everything (That's the story of everything) You can live, you can die but I know we gotta try Ooh, ooh, ooh (Yeah, hot damn, yeah, hot damn) (Yeah hot damn, yeah, hot damn) (Oh) That's the story (Yeah, hot damn, yeah, hot damn) Gotta make it better (Live and die, you know we gotta try to get along) We gotta change, change (Story of everthing...) Live, die, try, try (Story of everything) That's the story (Live, die, know we gotta try) Get along, yeah, yeah Views of rating, news of hating Views of rating, news of hating (Get along) Views of rating, news of hating Things get far gone if ya'll waiting (Get along) Views of rating, news of hating Things get too far gone if ya'll waiting (Get along) Mm to get along (To get along) (Try) Get-get, get-get... (To get along) Oh, along, along... Come on, clap your hands, keep that head up Keep that head up, throw them hands up
