Frowne Song (Feeble Anthem) - Live at State Theatre, Detroit, MI - October 2008

Lyrics

Why do we frown?
 Is it something within us
 Or in the world at large?
 Maybe it's both, y'all
 Sadness deep inside
 Something we can't hide
 We yearn for the past but it's not there
 And it makes me frown
 Yeah, it makes me frown
 You look at the news
 Always giving me the blues
 War, death and chaos
 All around me now
 And the media's controlled
 People do just what they're told
 Just want to stand up and yell, "Is anybody out there?"
 'Cause it makes me frown
 Yeah, it makes me frown
 It's hard to find hope
 But maybe we can learn to cope
 By listening to one another
 It's a trust thing
 'Cause I know that you have feared
 'Cause I know the end is near
 But just lend an ear
 And we can make it happen
 'Cause it makes me frown
 Makes everybody frown
 Oh, I know it can get hard
 When you look out your backyard
 See the ozone falling apart before you
 And recycling's a bitch
 I've got just one wish
 (That his children won't grow up in a freakin' trash can)
 A piano's all I got
 And I know that ain't a lot
 Music has the power
 To change the future
 So what do you think
 'Bout my message of hope?
 Better get with the program
 Before it's too late, y'all
 So if you wanna start right now
 You better take that fuckin' frown
 Better turn it upside down
 Just give in to love
 Yeah, give in to love
 Give it up for love
 Amen to love
 It's gotta be love
 Or it'll make you frown
 Ah, it makes us frown
 Ah, it makes me frown
 'Cause it makes me frown
