Sing
The story of everything
Living, dying, lying, denial
Sing
The story of everything
Sing
Here's a story for you that will make your head spin 'round
Some troubled soul walks into church and guns everyone down
What did that congregation do, they forgave that boy somehow
Our do-nothing congress, they never make mistakes
'Cause they don't show up to work except to give themselves a raise
The audacity of hope makes every bigot shake, yeah
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
You can live, you can die
But I know we gotta try to get along
On Main St. USA, everybody's closing shop
'Cause them that's got get richer, it's the have and the have-nots
My cousin stays on welfare 'cause it pays more than a job
Now every time they talk about the way it used to be
You keep on living in the past, don't do a damn thing for me
