Catastrophize

Catastrophize, catastrophize
I see the world through worried eyes
And here’s the part where everybody dies
I think we’d all best run and hide
 
Catastrophize, catastrophize
What’s the use of trying, guys?
It’s not all baseball and apple pies
But disaster of enormous size
 
It’s not just a headache, it’s a tumor
It’s sure to develop, later or sooner
I think I’ve lost my sense of humor
Blame it all on the Baby Boomers
 
You can’t fool me for I’m wise
I see right through your thin disguise
If you could see things through my eyes
Then you all might realize
 
Catastrophize, catastrophize
I see the world through worried eyes
And in your smile I can surmise
The downfall of the civilized
 
Y’see that dark cloud? It’s a flood
The car you bought is such a dud
See it stuck there in the mud?
Ain’t nothin’ you can do about it, Bud
 
It’s not just a slump, it’s a Great Depression
Ain’t no justice when the Court is in session
They acquitted him despite his confession
I need an operation for this indigestion
 
Catastrophize, catastrophize
What’s the use of trying, guys?
When everything my money buys
Leads me to catastrophize?
 
Catastrophize, we’re never gonna make it
Catastrophize, don’t think that I can take it
Catastrophize, should I microwave or bake it?
Catastrophize, gonna have to fake it

Catastrophize, catastrophize
I see the world through worried eyes
And here’s the part where everybody dies
I think we’d all best run and hide
Catastrophize, catastrophize, catastrophize
