This is a simple little song
There’s nothing wrong with a simple song
It’s not about death or fear
Unlike most of the songs on here
This record’s got plenty of those
Well I write about what I know
That’s alright but you’ve got to lighten up
To make it through the years
I guess I’m guilty of repetition
But I like themes and I like tradition
Well it’s OK to always sing
About animals and things
And to use the same old chords
That’s not true, I’ve been using more
Well regardless, try to branch out
Don’t write about sad things anymore
‘Cause everything will probably be OK
Tomorrow’s just another word for today
Well I’m pretty sure, that that’s a non sequitur
But I like this song so I’ll go along with whatever you say
Whenever you get depressed
Try to remember that you’re blessed
To play music for a living
Well I hardly call this living
It’s more like dying slowly
Oh Mathias, holy moly
When life gives you old tomatoes
You can make ravioli
‘Cause everything will probably be OK
Tomorrow’s just another word for today
Well you see the glass half full and I don’t see a glass at all
When I’m not depressed I’m bored and I end up staring at the wall
Whenever I get bored
I just play the omnichord
So why not play the ukulele
Or help out some Israelis
Well I do those things I guess
And I probably should complain less
But I think we might just be different
I see suck where you see success
But everything will probably be OK
And tomorrow’s just another word for today
That line still doesn’t make any sense at all to me
Whatever, at least I got you to agree
That everything will probably be OK
Tomorrow’s just another word for today
Nothing is permanent, but it’s pertinent to say
That everything will probably be OK
