Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, thing
Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything is awful
[Verse 2]
Oh
Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, thing
Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything is awful
[Verse 3]
Everything is awful
Everything is
[Verse 4]
What's that crashing sound
Follows us around
That's the sound of all things good
Breaking
[Verse 5]
Put your fears to rest
You know it's for the best
As a choir of angels sings
[Verse 6]
Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, thing
Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything is awful
[Verse 7]
Oh
Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, thing
Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything is awful
[Verse 8]
Everything is awful
Everything is
[Verse 9]
I know you've worked so hard
To hoist your own petard
Must be so nice, the point cut in your side
[Verse 10]
Lay down your heavy head
It's safer here in bed
And let those voices ring
[Verse 11]
Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, thing
Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything is awful
[Verse 12]
Oh
Everything, everything, everything, everything
Every little thing, everything, thing
Everything, everything is awful
[Verse 13]
Everything is awful
Everything is
Everything is
[Verse 14]
Would you kindly keep it down?
Just trying to get some sleep
Everything is
