Why do we frown?   Is it something within us   Or in the world at large?   Maybe it's both, y'all      Sadness deep inside   Something we can't hide   We yearn for the past   But it's not there      And it makes me frown   Yeah, it makes me frown      You look at the news   Always giving me the blues   War, death and chaos   All around me now      The media's controlled   People do just what they're told   Just wanna stand up and yell   Is anybody out there?      'Cause it makes me frown   Yeah, it makes me frown      It's hard to find hope   But maybe we can learn to cope   By listening to one another   It's a trust thing      'Cause I know that you have feared   'Cause I know the end is near   But just lend an ear   And we can make it happen      'Cause it makes me frown   Makes everybody frown      Oh, I know it can get hard   When you look out your backyard   See the ozone falling   Apart before you      And recycling's a bitch   I've got just one wish   That his children won't grow up   In a freaking trash can      A piano's all I got   And I know that ain't a lot   Music has the power   To change the future      So what do you think   'Bout my message of hope?   Better get with the program   Before it's too late, y'all      So if you wanna start right now   You better take that fucking frown   Better turn it upside down      Just give in to love   Yeah, give in to love   Give it up for love   Amen to love      It's gotta be love   Or it'll make you frown   Ah, it makes us frown   Ah, it makes me frown   'Cause it makes me frown
