My hymn to despair.

lyrics

©Peter Lehndorff
Chorus: Well, Don’t be discouraged, when the future is not bright.
And don’t be discouraged when nothin’ turns out right.
Don’t be discouraged if things look bad at first
No, don’t be discouraged It’ll bound to get worse.

Well your pipes seem to leak a lot. Your plumber’s name is Ray.
Your wife seems to call him over, whenever you’re away.
Your kid pulled off her braces, She wants a new tattoo.
Your in-laws just sold their house and they're moving in with you.

But they said
CHORUS:

They’re cuttin' back your hours at work. There's rumors going ‘round.
Everything keeps going up. While yours keep going down.
You’re angry at your bank again. You call to let them know.
they raise their rates while you wait to their music on hold.

they’re singing.
CHORUS:

Well you saved up for a vacation. To go off to Italy.
You ended up on a camping trip with your plumber’s family.
And folks ask “Hows’it goin’?” (You always say it’s just fine.)
Well two can live as cheaply as one for about half the time.
Two can live as cheaply as one for about half the time.
CHORUS
