[Verse 1]

I'm turnin' off my radio

'Cause I can't stand to know

Why everything's so terrible

I'm switchin' off my telephone

It feels like a second home

But I'm not sure it's that comfortable

[Pre-Chorus]

Got this world in our hands

Like a pearl in a clam

We're lettin' go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]

Why is everything so hopeless?

Everybody's lost control

I wish that I could fill this ocean size open hole

How the hell are we still copin'

When everybody feels so broke?

I wish that I could fill this ocean size open hole

But what do I know?

[Verse 2]

I wanna go grab a megaphone

And scream 'til my lungs are gone

Wake up the world and let them know

Ayy, ayy-ayy, yeah

Can't just wait until you're older

To take the weight up off your shoulders

If it makes you cry

You're probably doin' alright

[Pre-Chorus]

Got this world in our hands

Like a pearl in a clam

We're lettin' go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]

Why is everything so hopeless?

Everybody's lost control

I wish that I could fill this ocean size open hole

How the hell are we still copin'

When everybody feels so broke?

I wish that I could fill this ocean size open hole

But what the hell do I know? Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Post-Chorus / Bridge]

But what the hell do I know? Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

But what the hell do I know? Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

But what the hell do I know? Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Outro]

Why is everything so hopeless?

Everybody's lost control

I wish that I could fill this ocean size open hole

How the hell are we still copin'

When everybody feels so broke?

I wish that I could fill this ocean size open hole
