Depression

By Ironies Morse Jeff

(A parody of “Ironic” by Alanis Morrisette)

 

An old man was very sick.

He had lung cancer with a lot of pain.

Living longer he could not entertain.

He took an overdose. He went real quick.

 

[refrain]

So, wasn’t that depression?

Where’s the shrink?

 

[chorus]

It’s your brain that just isn’t right.

Take my advice: take your meds at night.

There’s no free ride. You just have to fight.

And do some work on your triggers.

 

Mr. Big Loser kept people at bay.

He bought a shotgun and gave his things away.

He wanted to end his life to stop the pain.

And as the gun went off

He thought, “Wait! Am I insane?”

 

[refrain]

[chorus]

[bridge]

Well, grief has a cruel way of never leaving you.

When you think it’s getting better, but it’s actually getting worse.

And it has a nasty way of making you sad

When you think that it has all improved

But you end up a basket case.

 

 

It’s feeling bad when everything’s going well.

Something’s wrong but you just can’t tell.

It’s the ten thousand wrongs you did for one thing good.

It’s having bad dreams your whole life

And then losing your livelihood.

[refrain]

Too much depression.

Yeah, we really need a shrink.

[chorus]
