In the summer there’s too much rain
And in winter there’s too much snow
But when the rain and snow don’t show up
We ask ourselves “Where did they go?”
So what if the weather was evenly balanced?
And there’s just as much sun as there’s rain?
Well, we’d be pretty angry
Because technically we can’t complain.

‘Cause in a perfect world, everything is the same
Life would be boring, and everything plain
And we would make everything normal once more
So we could complain again

The president started a new war
In something-or-other-istan
He’s calling for over 20,000 men
And an expensive campaign plan
But what if the leaders stopped fighting?
And put an end to every war?
Well, all of us would start to get restless
And ask for the fighting once more

‘Cause in a perfect world, everything is the same
Life would be boring, and everything plain
And we would make everything normal once more
So we could complain again

*Some sort of guitar solo*

Well, the price of gas is too expensive
And the actor’s girlfriend is a whore
Our favorite football team is losing
And there’s no more fresh milk at the store
The trifles of life are annoying
They’re starting to drive us all mad
But if all of these trifles disappeared
We’d. All. Be. Sad.

‘Cause in a perfect world, everything is the same
Life would be boring, and everything plain
And we would make everything normal once more
So we could complain again
