Turn it Around

I wake up to the sound of your complaining
And outside of course it will be raining
Why does all this nonsense always happen to me

My clothes are boring, I have a bad hair day
When will luck ever be coming my way
Why do my wishes never become reality

Don’t be blue
Turn it around
Change your views
Upside down

Why was I born in this alien country
Where everyone always speaks so bluntly
Where everyone is self-centered and selfish, I don’t understand

No one ever puts me first
Pays me a compliment or quenches my thirst Every conversation always gets out of hand

Don’t be blue
Turn it around
Change your views
Upside down

Stuck in a job to pay my mortgage
Always have to listen to everyone’s garbage
I’ll never meet up to my parent’s expectations of me

Don’t be blue
Turn it around
Change your views
Upside down
