Well, This Is Shit - Lyrics

There's nothing anyone can do, there's nothing anyone can say,
There's little can be done right now to make this go away,
Cliched, simple platitudes do naught to quell the dread,
And the breadth and gravity just send me crawling back to bed,
It's useless in this moment to say we'll get through this somehow,
There's time enough for action, but that time isn't now,
Soon we can start planning for what may come to be,
But what I could use right now is a bacon roll and a cup of tea,

I don't need positive affirmations, I need to scream and ball,
The unrealistic expectations, Won't help with this at all

Chorus
This is shit! Well, This is shit
I'm not expecting answers,
Because they're out of your remit,
I'm not looking for solutions,
Just for someone to admit,
This is shit, this is shit, this is shit

You're trying to be helpful, and that is always nice,
But right now all logic only grates so don't try to give advice,
I need someone to rant at who'll not judge or take offence,
At my incessant fucking swearing and my unfiltered sentiments,

So stop the pragmatic interventions, just nod and say you understand,
Pretend I'm not being an unreasonable areshole and hold onto my hand

Repeat Chorus

So let's all sit and just quietly get pissed,
And drunkenly attempt to over analyse all of this,
We may now be bidding the old times goodbye,
So let's not feel embarrassed to have a bloody good cry!

Repeat Chorus x2
