Necessary Evil ft. Buddy from Less Than Jake Lyrics

This song's been written

Four-hundred eighty million two-hundred fifty times before

By everyone who's ever learned to play guitar. I'm not original

But it feels so fresh to me… It feels so fresh to me

Just like I bet the drummer down the street said to his mom

Also, my friend Marilyn who really likes to draw a lot

Everyone I know who's got creative bones inside their blood

But why is it

That we're so sad?

That we're so angry and depressed

Collectively our feelings are repressed

And everything's a mess

Cause we're so sad

We've got to suffer one and all

To see the beauty in the fall

It's a necessary evil, not our fault

So when you look at all the art in this community

And say that from the outside it looks more like a pity party

Well frankly I'm offended

That you never took the time to see the real need to be upset

To have something to say, to be so malcontent

And if we had the choice we'd do this with a smile but…

We're so sad

Oh, we're so angry and depressed

Collectively our feelings are repressed

And everything's a mess

Cause we're so sad

We've got to suffer one and all

To see the beauty in the fall

It's a necessary evil, not our fault

I'm so sad

I get so angry and depressed

One at a time my feelings are repressed

And yes my life's a mess

Cause we're so sad

We've got to suffer one and all

To see the beauty in the fall

It's a necessary evil, not our fault
