Depressing Rock Song

Bob Ricci

I grew up in a little suburbia

I graduated at the top of my class

My parents loved me, my friends they all envied

The kind of life that they all knew that I had

I got accepted to an Ivy League college

My Mom and Dad paid every step of the way

I'm graduated now in financial freedom

I'm getting thousands of job offers a day



But Uncle Cliffy said to follow my passion

He told me I should always do what I like

I've always dreamed of someday being a rock star

So I went out and did my hair in a spike

I got a tattoo and a couple of piercings

I threw out all my Abercrombie and Fitch

But when I started on my rock and roll lyrics

I realized there might be one tiny hitch



Cause I ain't had no dire trauma

And I ain't got no burning pain

Ain't got no reason to be angry

Ain't got no reason to complain, yeah



I'm trying to write a depressing rock song

But everything in my life is OK

I ain't got no depressing story

I've never really even had a bad day



My girlfriend told me she'd be into a threesome

I won the lottery the first time I played

I saved a family from a burning apartment

I'm being honered in a local parade

I've just been chozen as the new Dalai Lama

I won the nobel prize for just being me

I wish so bad that something awful would happen

So I can finally feel some kind of grief



Cause I ain't got no brooding anger

And I can't bring myself to hate

I'm so happy and elated

Everything is just so great, yeah



I'm trying to write a depressing rock song

But everything in my life is OK

How will I ever make the top 40?

If I don't scream and yell and fuss and complain?



I'm trying to write a depressing rock song

But everything in my life is OK

I'm trying to sing about how tough that I've had it, but

The silver spoon, it always gets in my way



I'm trying to write a depressing rock song

But everything in my life is OK

I ain't got no depressing story

But I won't
