It Really Sucked, Actually

People say that every cloud has a silver lining

But they have never wrecked a car and killed two of their friends

and they have never seen someone do too much heroin

So, those people don't know a goddamn thing.

And people say little cliches' like, 'when it rains, it pours'

But they don't live in faded houses with damp, buckled floors

And thieving neighbors who just wait to go break down their doors

So, those people don't know a goddamn thing.

And people say that it will all get better if you try

But they all have some place to go when their grandparents die

And won't have trouble finding arms to hold or chests to cry

So, those people don't know a goddamn thing.
