Lyrics

Woke up this morning, birds sang me a tune,
Sky’s on fire, but it’s such a lovely view.
Traffic’s at a standstill, folks scream and fight,
But I got my coffee, so I’m doin’ all right.
The bank just called, they’re takin’ my car,
The rent’s overdue, guess I’ll sleep at the bar.
The newsman’s talkin’ ‘bout the end of the world,
But my WiFi’s workin’, so it’s all good, girl.
Oh, what a beautiful day!
Everything’s fine, yeah, everything’s great.
Buildings are crumblin’, sirens all play,
But I got my headphones, so I’m okay.
Stepped outside, saw a man with a sign,
Said, “Repent now, we’re all out of time.”
I gave him a thumbs-up, walked on by,
Gotta get to work—well, at least I’ll try.
Boss just called, said I’m out of a job,
Guess I should panic—but nah, I’ll just jog.
The ozone’s tearin’, the ocean’s dry,
But I got an iced tea, so I’ll be just fine.
Oh, what a beautiful day!
Everything’s fine, yeah, everything’s great.
Tornado’s spinnin’, buildings decay,
But I got my playlist, so I’m okay.
Ignorin’ the fire, ignorin’ the flood,
Ignore all the vultures circlin’ above.
If I don’t look up, then it ain’t real,
If I fake a smile, then I won’t feel.
So I’ll just sip my lukewarm brew,
Laugh at the chaos, hum a tune.
The world’s collapsing, but that’s okay,
'Cause I’ll just pretend it’s a beautiful day.
