Sad Eyebrows

I’ve got sad eyebrows
And even when I feel my best
They’re still sad eyebrows
A look of permanent distress
So I’m not allowed
To showcase that I’m doing fine
I’ll always look down
They’ll always ask if I’m alright
I wanna be the happy guy
Who tells bad jokes and wears bow ties
And doesn’t live inside his head
And never wishes he was dead
But I’m the guy who wears his damage on his sleeve
I’ve got sad eyebrows, can’t you see?
My voice is monotone
My compliments sound sarcastic
Life’s a tv show
I’ve been type cast as a sad prick
I wanna be the happy guy
Who gives bear hugs and hard high fives
And never drinks himself to sleep
Or has The Smiths queued on repeat
And though I try to hide, my face gives it away
My sad eyebrows are here to stay
Through all the ups and downs, psychotic grins, neurotic frowns
Despondent lows, moronic highs, they all look sad above my eyes
I wanna be the happy guy
Not some piss ant who sits and whines
And wallows in his misery
I just can’t shake melancholy
And though I try to smile, the world can see right through
I’ve got sad eyebrows, how are you?

Ever since I hit it big with my first single, I’ve been playing round the world to sold-out crowds
Critical acclaim and people cheering out my name, oh it’s a dream come true, I wish I could be proud
Booking late night shows
Making music videos
And I haven’t enjoyed one bit
I’ve got a secret and it keeps me up at night
Because I know I don’t deserve any of this
The world is praising me, but I cannot agree cuz
All I did was write wonderwall in a different key
It’s stolen blatantly but no one seems to see that all I did was write wonderwall in a different key
A different key, a different key, all i did was
write wonderwall in a different key
A different key, a different key, all i did was write wonderwall in a different key
I didn’t think that I would ever get this far and now I’m living in a constant state of dread
How do you deal with faking your way into stardom, I’d call up Milli Vanilli but they’re dead
15 minutes of fame
Traded for a life of shame
Can’t believe I had the gall
Every time I go to play it, gotta stop myself from saying to the crowd “Anyway, here’s wonderwall”
I go from E to G, oh how has no one seen that
All I did was write wonderwall in a different key
Are you not noticing the blatant plagiarizing?
All I did was write wonderwall in a different key
Talent borrows, genius steals
Wonder if this is how Greta Van Fleet feels
Wonder if this means that I’m going to Hell
And I wonder if this is how Oasis felt
They’ll be erasing me from all of history
Once they find out I wrote wonderwall in a different key
Someone just sue me please
Cuz I’m in agony knowing all I did was write wonderwall in a different key
Something’s gotta give
The world has got to know
Gallaghers are haunting me wherever I may go
And I’m a fake, a thief
And all I’ll ever be is
The wannabe who wrote wonderwall in a different key
A different key
