MUCH WORSE THAN IT SOUNDS

A FEW YEARS BACK I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY NECK
THEY HAD TO CUT ME OPEN BREAK SOME BONES
THAT THEY RE-SET
I HAD TO WHERE A BRACE AND FOR A FEW WEEKS I WAS DOWN
BUT IT REALLY WASN’T NEARLY AS PAINFUL AS IT SOUNDS

NO IT REALLY WASN’T NEARLY AS PAINFULL AS IT SOUNDS
IT WAS AN INCONVENIENCE IT WAS HARD TO GET AROUD
CONSIDER IT THE PRICE I PAID FOR STAYING ABOVE GROUND
NO IT REALLY WASN’T NEARLY AS PAINFUL AS IT
SOUNDS


ONE NIGHT OUT IN A BLIZZARD MY BRAKES FAILED IN THE SNOW
I SKIDDED OFF THE HIGHWAY TO A DITCH TEN FEET BELOW
AS THE WHITE BLUR DRIFTED PAST ME WHILE I
TUMBLED MY WAY DOWN
I THOUGHT THIS REALLY ISN’T NEARLY AS SCARY AS IT
WILL SOUND

NO IT REALLY WASN’T NEARLY AS SCARY AS IT SOUNDS
THOUGH WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT MY HEART
BEGINS TO POUND
I GUESS I JUST GOT LUCKY BECAUSE I’M STILL AROUND
NO IT REALLY WASN’T NEARLY AS SCARY AS IT SOUNDS


LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, WE HEADED OUT TO VOTE
BUT FAR TOO MANY OF US JUST DIDN’T GET THE NOTE
NINETY MILLION STAYED HOME ‘CAUSE THEY DIDN’T CARE TO CHOOSE
SOME STAYED AWAY CONVINCED THE WINNER WAS GONNA LOSE

AND NOW IT’S ONE YEAR LATER AND DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE
IT’S PRETTY CLEAR TO MOST OF US THE WORST IS STILL TO COME
THERE’S MUCH MORE TO THIS STORY NEEDS TO BE REVEALED
BUT WE’RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT AND HOPE INDICTMENTS ARE UNSEALED


THESE PEOPLE DOWN IN WASHINGTON, WELL THEY’RE SURE HARD TO TAKE
WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT, I WISH THE NEWS WAS FAKE
THE LIES AND FABRICATIONS NOW ROUTINELY MAKE THE ROUNDS

YEAH IT’S PAINFUL AND IT’S CRIMINAL, AND IT’S MUCH
WORSE THAN IT SOUNDS.
