The world outside is gonna be the death of me And endless cesspool of sorrow and anxiety I don’t care for fame and wealth, cause it can’t fix my mental health So if you need me I’ll be sitting right here on the couch Most days I do alright Tune out the constant chaos Really, I’m doing fine No need to ask “Are you OK, John?” I’ll just surround myself With shiny things and fun distraction Stay tucked inside my shell It’s easier than taking action Why should I go anywhere? The world outside is gonna be the death of me And endless cesspool of sorrow and anxiety I don’t care for fame and wealth, cause it can’t fix my mental health So if you need me I’ll be sitting right here on the couch
