Lyrics

Don't you think that the story is wrong?
The introduction goes on too long
You have to sing but you don't know a song

But it's not so bad
It's not the same thing every day
And it's a clear and a beautiful day
And I guess there isn't much to say

Don't you think that my prospects are good?
Of being totally misunderstood
You said I can't but I know that I could

But it's not so bad
It's not the same thing every day
And it's a clear and a beautiful day
And I guess there isn't much to say
