Life Ain't Perfect (From "the Amazing World of Gumball")

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 ninety-something guy who caught the avian flu

Life ain’t perfect, it’s...bleh

Some bits are okay, but most of it is...ugh

Life ain’t perfect, it’s...meh

You gotta find the good bits in this great big load of (raspberry blow)

And yes, the more you work on 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-a that supposed to make me feel better?

My life’s unravelling just like threads pulled from a sweater

There’s no sunshine in my future, it is gray, desaturated

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
