I never really tried to be positive I'm too damn busy being negative So focused on what I get I never understand what it means to live You know we all love to just complain But maybe we should try to rearrange There's always someone who's got it worse than you My life is' My life is so cool, my life is so cool Oh yeah, from a different point of view My life is' My life is so cool, my life is so cool Oh yeah, from a different point of view We're all so busy trying to get ahead Got a pillow of fears when we go to bed We're never satisfied The grass is greener on the other side So distracted with our jealousy Forget it's in our hands to stop the agony Will you ever be content on your side of the fence? Maybe you're the guy who needs a second chance Maybe you're the girl who's never asked to dance Maybe you're a lonely soul A single mother scared and all alone Gotta remember we live what we choose It's not what you say, it's what you do And the life you want is the life you have to make
