Even in your darkest hour
You're luckier than anyone you know
Better not catch you complaining
Girl, you know, there's a lot of ways this could go
Last thing that this old world needs
Is more hot air
More hot air to blow
Better make a grateful sound
And back it up with a grateful soul
Young nor dumb am I
Seen a few people die
Seen a few people living
In a way that's giving off light
I look to my left
I look to my right
I have to admit
It's a terrifying
Terrifying
Terrifying sight
'Cause even in your darkest hour
You're luckier than anyone you know
Better not catch you complaining
Girl you know, there's a lot of ways this could go
Last thing that this old world needs
Is more hot air
More hot air to blow
Better make a grateful sound
And back it up with a grateful soul
To the office of the governor
To whom it may concern
I am writing to request clemency
For a prisoner who has earned it
To me he is a butterfly
And so must go outdoors
And yes there's blood on his hands
But so with mine and yours
For every child of poverty
Who never stood a chance
For each fool who said go with me
And each fool who took his hand
For each one with bad council
And still they took the stand
For every beat up woman
And every beat down man
Have mercy
Mercy mercy me
Have mercy
Mercy mercy me
Have mercy
Mercy mercy me
Have mercy
Mercy mercy me
'Cause even in your darkest hour
You're luckier than anyone you know
Better not catch you complaining
Girl you know, there's a lot of ways this could go
Last thing that this old world needs
Is more hot air
More hot air to blow
Better make a grateful sound
And back it up with a grateful soul
Young nor dumb am I
Seen a few people die
Seen a few people living
In a way that's giving off light
I look to my left
I look to my right
I have to admit
It's a terrifying
Terrifying
Terrifying sight
