Lyrics
Negativity (6:08)
© 2008 Bruce Mills (ASCAP)
Negativity - won't take you nowhere
Like going backwards - backwards - backwards - on the train
Back to the station - where you started
To wait some more - some more - some more - again and again
Elevator - just going sideways
No going up - up - up - to the higher storey
No going down - down - down - any lower
Because you're already on - already on - already on - the bottom floor
Chorus:
Man - all you do is talk about dying - dying - dying - dying
And all you seem to do is a lot of crying - crying - crying
You don`t even bother trying - to find a little happiness
All you got to do is complain - complain - complain
Just get back on your train - your t rain to nowhere
Destination: Negativity
Superstitious words - don`t give no comfort
When all you do - is worry - worry - worry - about tomorrow
Your joy is misery - and you love your sorrow
It's just that negativity you want to follow - follow - follow
Why don't you get yourself on a train -
A train that's going somewhere
Leave behind - behind - behind that no somewhere
Take a chance - take a chance -and change that attitude
Let it go - that negativity
So much suspicion - just makes you stupid
When you think everyone - everyone is out to get you
It's just that old suitcase - gets way too heavy and crazy
For you to carry by yourself - all that negativity - and you ain't lazy / BUT:
A little bit of something - is better than nothing
And a little bit of something - is all you really need - need - need
To buy a ticket on a train - that`s going somewhere - somewhere - somewhere
Away - away - away from negativity
Negativity - won't take you nowhere
Like going backwards - backwards - backwards - on the train
Back to the station - right where you started
To wait some more - some more - some more - again and again
Leave it behind you
Move along - Don't be a fool
Take another train - Take a train that's going somewhere
Leave that negativity - leave it behind - negativity
