original version of the song, some lines moved around and changed in the final--
lyrics
I'm not good at writing songs and
music is too hard for me
I rely on just four chords
I can't play the ukulele
I'm an artist, so I say
I practice every single day
I must admit that isn't true
but understand my point of view
Since childhood they promised me
No matter what, that I could be
capable and would achieve
anything that I believe
Doot , doodle do dat doot,
Cuz I can't write songs
And a chorus would be too hard
Doot , doodle do dat doot,
I just picked four chords
And these lyrics are just blog posts
Do your best and you'll succeed
Don't do drugs and always read
You can do it if you try
Never let them see you cry
In my twenties now I get
Anxieties and looming debt
But if I can stay positive
I probably won't get audited
Doot , doodle do dat doot,
Are these even words?
I had trouble writing them down
Doot , doodle do dat doot,
I think I'm okay but I should probably see a doctor
Get a job to buy a car
You need a car to get to work
Where you can be underpaid
To stand around as a store clerk
and it's so hard to be alright
when you can't get to sleep at night
hung up on your stupid past
the times you've been mocked and harassed
Despite all the time I could spend
This song has no uplifting end
Stash your anger on the shelf
and maybe try to love yourself
Doot , doodle do dat doot,
hey can ya check it out?
I got through this without crying
Doot , doodle do dat doot,
I used music ot cope so I won't think about dying
Doot , doodle do dat doot,
because I picked these chords
this doesn't sound like a red flag
Doot , doodle do dat doot,
using music to cope really isn't that bad
