lyrics

Lucy had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
Lucy went to heaven
She still felt like hell
And so she only gave it two stars
Worst place ever

She’s the kind of person
Anyway, she tries
Always disappointed, so she never feels surprised
When she is always disappointed

She holds my hand like I’m a barbed wire fence
Dance like they’re watching you
Because they’re watching you

And when the bright lights find you
Don’t let your heart get lazy
Keep all the worst behind you
That stuff will make you crazy
Don’t read the comments and don’t feed the trolls
Don’t read the comments and don’t feed the trolls

Hello operator
Please give me number nine
And if you disconnect me
I think that would be fine
Because all I can hear is talking
So much talking

Appreciate the outrage
I did the best I could
I thought about your think piece
I don’t think it’s any good
And anyway I didn’t read it

Who writes this stuff? Because it makes no sense
I just checked my privilege
And it looks fine to me

And when the bright lights find you
They’re gonna shine right through you
Keep all the worst behind you
Don’t let the words get to you
Don’t read the comments and don’t feed the trolls
Don’t read the comments and don’t feed the trolls

The flies are in the meadow
The bees are in the park
The girls and boys are kissing
As we stumble in the dark
And we don’t have a lot of time left

You clutch your chest, you fake a heart attack
Laugh it up, nothing looks good on me
Somebody called, they want their something back
I’m not a piece of meat
I guess I’d like to be

And when the bright lights find you
Bro, come on bro, don’t taze me
Keep all the worst behind you
That stuff will make you crazy
Don’t read the comments and don’t feed the trolls
Don’t read the comments and don’t feed the trolls
Don’t read the comments and don’t feed the trolls
Don’t read the comments and don’t feed the trolls
