The Downer Song
Using Udio.com for the music, I created this downer song about the horrible world we live in. (Note: I don't entirely agree with the very negative sentiments of the song. Hopefully, writing the lyrics will end up being a purgative experience for me.)
[Verse] Worry, my friend, there's plenty to fear, Life is a hell that gets worse every year. A brief flicker in the vast night of death. A few moments of fun, then you're struggling for breath. [Verse] You're nobody special. You're nobody great. Be ashamed of yourself! Misery's your fate. Even rich people suffer and end up dead. It's a wonder more people don't shoot themselves in the head. [Chorus] So why not be worried, why not feel down? The world is on fire, no savior’s around. You know it’s all hopeless, that death is our fate, And it’s hard not to drown in an ocean of hate. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse] Your friends betray you, love is all fake. Trust is for fools, and hearts always break, Dreams turn to ashes, hopes fade away, In a world that is cruel, we yearn to decay. [Verse] Corporations rule, they’ve bought every vote, The planet is burning, the rich live behind moats. Wars never end, they engineer new ones again. And the innocent perish in a savage playpen. [Chorus] So why not be worried, why not feel blue? The world’s in the hands of the ruthless few. The system’s corrupted, the future is bleak, And the arms of the strong hold down the weak. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse] Money buys power, power buys laws, The system is rigged with invisible claws, They whisper of hope, it’s covered in dust, The ones we rely on betray every trust. [Outro] So worry, my friend, feel the despair, The world is hopeless, with justice nowhere. Life’s just a shadow that soon fades away, In this world where the wicked have their way.
