lyrics

You know you caused me a lot of strife
All those years you made me hide
So I tried to ruin your life
And forget about your sweeter side

But I've lied about who I love
Tried to make folks do what I think they should
And though I hardly ever rise above
Deep down I know that I am good

Everyone in the world is an asshole
But underneath has a really good heart
So let's air it all out then let it all go
This is where the living starts

She kicked her daughter out of the house
"You'll burn in hell" she shouted in her face
But she stopped the cat from killing a meadow mouse
And always cries through Amazing Grace

He tried to make it look like a fall
When he busted his best friend's head
But his final words were "I love you all --
Take care, y'all, when I am dead"

Everyone in the world is an asshole
But underneath has a really good heart
So let's air it all out then let it all go
This is where the living starts

I've had the dream a thousand nights
We forget all the hurt and fights
Just shrug it off and take a chance
Get off your grouchy ass and dance (dance, dance)

'Cause everyone in this room is an asshole
But underneath has a really good heart
So let's air it all out then let it all go
This is where the living starts

Yeah, everyone in the world is an asshole
But underneath has a really good heart
So let's air it all out then let it all go
This is where the living starts

Now we've all swatted flies with pride
Or liked the thought of someone tripping up
We cheat and deny, we scowl and deride
But we can still choose the loving cup
