lyrics

Kid don't worry so much of the time.\
The future and ambition will not coincide. \
Platitudes of success seducing the wise.\
They think: at any cost necessary.\
At any cost necessary, including your mind. \
\
Kid don't worry so much of the time. \
Just general virtue will do you better in this life.\
Avoiding the terror, and the sinking of the mind,\
Won't be found in proud anxiety.\
Won't be found in proud anxiety of what will be. \
\
Choose to be happy\
Just choose to be happy\
\
Just think about:\
All those sad fucking moonlit nights\
And the tragic fleeting nature of all those beautiful sights\
Stop thinking that, I'll be fine when everything is just right\
Because life is shit, it will always be shit, so learn to see the beauty in it\
Or the loss of a brilliant friend\
Or the trip worth taking that just had to end\
Stop thinking that I'll be fine when every problem is mended\
Because life is shit it will always be shit\
So choose to see the bright side in it\
\
Kid don't worry so much of the time.\
Look to other people, and with their strength you should be fine, \
That one thing you need and it's your bottom line.\
Seek strength in the ordinary.\
Seek strength in the ordinary, all of the time.\
\
Kid don't worry, none of it's a test\
Money comes and goes, just like love and all the rest\
You'll never be King and you'll never be the best\
But you're already divine\
\
Choose to be happy

Choose to see the beauty
Of the ordinary
