Necessary Evil (feat. Buddy from Less Than Jake)

This song's been written Four-hundred eighty million two-hundred fifty times before By everyone who's ever learned to play guitar. I'm not original But it feels so fresh to me...

We're so sad Oh, we're so angry and depressed Collectively our feelings are repressed And everything's a mess Cause we're so sad We've got to suffer one and all To see the beauty in the fall It's a necessary evil, not our fault I'm so sad I get so angry and depressed One at a time my feelings are repressed And yes my life's a mess Cause we're so sad We've got to suffer one and all To see the beauty in the fall It's a necessary evil, not our fault This song's been written Four-hundred eighty million Two-hundred fifty times AND ONE
