Frowne Song Lyrics - Stems And Seeds - Ben Folds

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 

And the media's controlled 

People do just what they're told 

Just want to 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 freakin' 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 fuckin' 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
