Lyrics

The things we complain about are fucking embarrassin’ / first world problems are nothing in comparison to life in the third world poverty stricken / things get much worse than economies dippin’ / life gets harder than the drama you go through / you wouldn’t know a bad day if it mowed you down in the street and it left you there / we see suffering but we’re too depressed to care / too obsessed with flare, with impressing our neighbours / stressing about how we appear to strangers / climb corporate ladders to increase our wages but spend it all completing our increasing status / greed replaces the compassion for those who are battling each day in a famine with no food or water to pour for their sons and daughters / we complain when the worst we’ve fought’s nothing more than the tortures of all the problems of the first world / don’t know how we get by / tell me how will we survive with the problems of the first world / the dramas in the first world / don’t know how we get by / tell me how will we survive all the problems of the first world
But it’s not all you (NO) / you are a fucking whinger but I am too though / so lucky to be in the position I’ve landed / so fucks me why I seem to take it for granted / I’ve got all I need but a serious confession is I still get obsessed with material possessions / and judging by the feed on social media I’m guessing that we all suffer greediness but see it as depression / I reckon we need to fill a glass or cup of cement dust, drink fast and harden up / ‘cause the fact you even hear me is half your luck / ‘cause it proves neither of us got it half as fucked as those living in poverty / fighting to make it / we shop for clothes while they’re dying naked / so if the third world leaves you “fucking astounded” stop being a diva and do something about it / we’re drowning in all the problems of the first world / don’t know how we get by / tell me how will we survive / with the problems of the first world / the dramas in the first world / don’t know how we get by / tell me how will we survive / all the problems……
So sorry to hear that you’re feeling sad ‘cause you can’t buy things you wish you had / so sorry to hear that the traffic’s bad / that’s tragic man, you must be so mad / so sorry to hear that you’re quite depressed ‘cause you no longer fit in your size 8 dress / so sorry to hear that your life’s a mess / you poor thing, don’t know how you survive the stress / this ain’t a text or an email, you hear the sarcasm / if anyone whines feel free to laugh at ‘em / I can’t fathom how we’re all so greedy that we’re fat, dumb and happy ignoring the needy / we pretend they’re all fine and not dying / so we don’t have to send them money and stop being the shit we don’t need trying to purchase happiness/ the worlds uneven / burn your abacus and imagine this / picture actually starving / picture being so hungry that your body is starting to shut down / and then imagine the feeling / being tortured and killed over things you believe in / you wouldn’t survive it if you were dreaming / you’d wake up screaming and beg to be leaving / back to the reality of life in the free world / where people complain about living in dreamworld / distraught with all the problems of the first world / don’t know how we get by / tell me how will we survive / with the problems of the first world / the dramas in the first world / don’t know how we get by / tell me how will we survive / all the problems of the first world
So sorry you’re living in a fantasy that many would never even get a chance to see / I’m so sorry
