Today was the absolute worst day everAnd don't try to convince me that
There's something good in every dayBecause, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a whileSatisfaction and happiness don't last.
And it's not true thatIt's all in the mind and heart
BecauseTrue happiness can be attained
Only if one's surroundings are goodIt's not true that good existsI'm sure you can agree that
The realityCreates
My attitudeIt's all beyond my control
And you'll never in a million years hear me sayToday was a very good day
