It Really Sucked, Actually

People say that every cloud has a silver lining
But they have never wrecked a car and killed two of their friends
and they have never seen someone do too much heroin
So, those people don't know a goddamn thing.

And people say little cliches' like, 'when it rains, it pours'
But they don't live in faded houses with damp, buckled floors
And thieving neighbors who just wait to go break down their doors
So, those people don't know a goddamn thing.

And people say that it will all get better if you try
But they all have some place to go when their grandparents die
And won't have trouble finding arms to hold or chests to cry
So, those people don't know a goddamn thing.
