Ben Folds - Frowne Song (Feeble Anthem) lyrics

Why do we frown? Is it something within us Or in the world at large? Maybe it's both, y'all Sadness deep inside Something we can't hide We yearn for the past But it's not there And it makes me frown Yeah, it makes me frown You look at the news Always giving me the blues War, d**h and chaos All around me now The media's controlled People do just what they're told Just wanna stand up and yell Is anybody out there? 'Cause it makes me frown Yeah, it makes me frown It's hard to find hope But maybe we can learn to cope By listening to one another It's a trust thing 'Cause I know that you have feared 'Cause I know the end is near But just lend an ear And we can make it happen 'Cause it makes me frown Makes everybody frown Oh, I know it can get hard When you look out your backyard See the ozone falling Apart before you And recycling's a b**h I've got just one wish That his children won't grow up In a freaking trash can A piano's all I got And I know that ain't a lot Music has the power To change the future So what do you think 'Bout my message of hope? Better get with the program Before it's too late, y'all So if you wanna start right now You better take that f**ing frown Better turn it upside down Just give in to love Yeah, give in to love Give it up for love Amen to love It's gotta be love Or it'll make you frown Ah, it makes us frown Ah, it makes me frown 'Cause it makes me frown
