Everything's Fine

[Intro: a hard fast acoustic strum kicks in cold with a foot stomp, a harmonica wheeze] [Verse 1] Woke up at a quarter past already-too-late The toast hit the floor, butter-side down — great The car made a sound that a car shouldn't make— The kind of expensive that keeps you awake [Pre-Chorus] But it's fine, it's fine, I'm a reasonable guy— I've still got my teeth and a gleam in my eye— [Verse 2] There's a letter from the county in a menacing red And a wasp nest bloomed on the side of the shed The dentist says "floss" like I've got the time— And everything's a dollar but I'm down to a dime [Pre-Chorus: build] But it's fine, it's fine, I've adjusted my dreams— I'm held together mostly by caffeine and seams— [Chorus: gang shout, claps] Everything's FINE! (everything's fine!) The roof's caving in but the rent's still on time! Everything's FINE! (everything's fine!) I'll laugh about this when I've lost my mind! [Bridge: drops to a single strum and stomp, spoken-fast, then building back] No, I'm not gonna cry in the cereal aisle I'm gonna grin like a fool and I'm gonna call it "style" 'Cause the only thing left when it all goes wrong Is a stubborn little idiot and a two-chord song— (stomp — stomp — GO!) [Final Chorus: biggest, full gang shout, claps and stomps] Everything's FINE! (everything's fine!) The roof's caving in but the rent's still on time! Everything's FINE! (everything's fine!) I'll laugh about this when I've lost my mind! [Outro: one last hard strum and a harmonica wheeze, a shouted tag] ...it's fine.
