lyrics

Nice Things Happen When You Stop Complaining

I’m trying hard not to be cynical
I’ve read my fair share of health magazine articles
On how to turn my life around in thirty days or less
Using only the power of positive thinking
About how to save my time and how to save my money
How I won’t get either back if I kill myself with worry
I must say, I have very high hopes for next month’s issue

I am sold when I am told that
Nice things happen when you stop complaining
I am sold when I am told
There’s nothing like a lie to help you get you through your life
I am sold when I am told that
Nice things happen when you stop complaining
I am sold when I am told that
Nice things happen when you stop complaining

I’m not sure what vitamins I’m missing
But pointless proverbs keep popping into conversation
There’s a strange comfort in super market wisdom
How I got through life before you is a mystery
My future is bright with you
It’s very clear to me
I simply can’t afford the price of not resubscribing

I am sold when I am told that
Nice things happen when you stop complaining
I am sold when I am told
There’s nothing like a lie to help you get you through your life
I am sold when I am told that
Nice things happen when you stop complaining
I am sold when I am told that
Nice things happen when you stop complaining

No more tears, no more tantrums
No more dummies thrown from my metaphorical pram
No more panic, no more melodrama
In the future I’m gonna be calmer than the Dalai Lama
No more angst, no more sinking
No more politics after I’ve been drinking
No more fussing, no more whining
No more envy when someone else’s star is shining
No more sarcasm, no more sniping
No more last points, no more back-biting
No more comments like ‘no more nice things’
Because nice things happen when you stop complaining
