Lyrics
Voices all around me going on and on and on,
Twenty-four hour news TV, saying everything is wrong.
Like whiny little babies, crying for their moms,
When it starts to drive me crazy, I sing this simple song.
(chorus)
I say … la la la la la la la la, oooh oooh,
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, Shewby do be do do
Though your lips is moving, there ain’t nothin’ coming through
La la la la, I’m not listening to you
Negativity, hyperbole, fear and hate for all
Emergency, conspiracy, the sky is going to fall
Socialists and terrorist, behind every tree
They hold their breath, they’re scared to death and they’re armed to the teeth
(chorus)
I see beauty all around me, people good and true,
All you see is ugly, everyone’s bad but you.
You’re a big buffoon, a hot air balloon, spewing smelly gas,
You wouldn't know a good thing if it bit you in the ass
(repeat chorus)
la la la, blah blah blah,
smile on my face, my happy place
shoe be do, do be do,
just sing this rhyme, you'll be just fine
