Lyrics"It's Not Gonna Be OK"
Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.
The grass on your lawn is gonna turn to hay It won't help when someone says to you have a nice day Whenever you get close, you always run out of time Everything won't be alright, no, it won't work out fine You can pay a shrink a fortune, but never hear what you need them to say It's not gonna be okay Things will get worse, before they ever get better It's gonna feel like a curse, any time you get a love letter Next thing you know, your new relationship's over It's time to face the fact you'll never find a four-leaf clover When you're floating through the street, it's gonna rain on your parade It's not gonna be okay Now I know that this is not what you want to hear And it could very well be your confidence won't disappear It's not entirely impossible to be happy and lucky too But the odds aren't in your favor, the deck is stacked against you Chances are you're gonna lose way more than you win Admit you'll never be a saint, and you're destined to sin You've made a lot of mistakes, and most you'll make again Your life will be a struggle until the bitter end You're bound to suffer and experience a whole lot of pain It's not gonna be okay You'll never have your day in the sun, things probably won't go your way It's not gonna be okay Copyright © ℗ 2018 by Scott Cooley.

It's Not Gonna Be OK
A really happy-sounding, mid-tempo Hawaiian-ish
rocker w/ marimba solo that slides its way to delivering a totally pessimistic
yet blatantly realistic outlook on the future with its contrasting lyrical
message.
