That's Not So Bad

Story Behind The Song

This is a rant. I almost got run over by some crazed 30 something in a wacking big SUV which she clearly didn't know how to drive. she had the cell phone going, the was failing to use her signals, she was failing to notice what was happening around her....this song just came into my head. It's dedicated to all the idiots who are blind to what's going on in their lives.

Song Description

Over achieving, material gains motivated people, rushing about all day and night. Driving around in big gas guzzlers, holding down multiple jobs so they can afford the "toys"; not properly parenting their kids because they are so busy rushing about justifying their lifestyle

Lyrics


4 bar (or more) intro
Chorus
That's not so bad,
That's not ..........so bad,
That's not so bad - reality hasn't set in
Verse 1
You're drivin around in a big SUV 'Cause you gotta more money than brains
You have a nice family that you never see....
Reality hasn't set in
Verse 2
Your clothes are trendy and your body is lean
You run five miles every day
You work three jobs, but you never dream
Reality hasn't set in
Chorus
That's not so bad,
That's not .......so bad,
That's not so bad - reality hasn't set in
16 bar instrumental break on verse
Chorus
That's not so bad,
That's not .......so bad,
That's not so bad - reality hasn't set in
Verse 2
Your kids are lippy, their school grades are bad
They spend all day at the mall
You try to give'em what you never had ......
Reality hasn't set in
You can't understand why you feel so depressed
And why life is passing you by
Just stop for a moment and look at yourself
You'll see it if you really try
Chorus with Tag
That's not so bad, That's not .......so bad, That's not so bad - reality hasn't set in
Reality hasn't set in, Reality hasn't ....Reality hasn't ....Reality hasn't set in,
