The Everyday Problem Lyrics

No complaints for today

No unusual happenings

Just the same old routine

In the normal ordering

Invented conflict and inflated issues

'Cause we need stuff to write about

Something remarkable to catch your attention

A deed I didn't do

Fictitious life lessons

It's hard to only write about what you know

When you don't know much

Coming from a place of

First world adversity

You're out of touch

The everyday problem

Of relating to people

Of acting convincing

And not coming off crazy

The always-daily conundrum

Of interpersonal interaction

From commodity needs to

Existential validation

Well it's tough to

Speak from experience

When you're still a twenty-something

Having grown up with a good life

No real struggles with health or money

Having grown up with a good life (Don't write about what you know)

No real struggles with health or money (Don't write about what you know)

Having grown up with a good life (Don't write about what you know)

No real struggles with health or money (Don't write about what you know)

I'd like to explore the inner workings of your mind

You tell me it's ill-conceived and I won't like what I find

I knew something always felt amiss

Seek advice from your bedroom guitar

He's been writing you notes and it goes a little something like this

Translate into plain speak

Thought patterns are made up

You built them all from scratch

Brain chemistry synapse

There is no right answer

No optimal structure

Just a billion variations

In the whole world population

Infinite interpretation
