"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

This might be an example of what some call lyrical dissonance. Could've gone with the full word "Okay" in the title, but didn't. Brevity, man.
