I hear you whining on the radio
I see you whining on TV
Maybe your mother made you cut the lawn
Maybe she made you eat your greens

There's a million ways to sing the blues
And this ain't one of them
But I guess I'd have to be in your shoes
To really understand

Hey...

If I were you I'd try to get away
Maybe find somewhere to go
A little picture in your .........?
(something) in the sun

There's a million ways to sing the blues
And this ain't one of them
But I guess I'd have to be in your shoes
To really understand

Don't want to hear you cry
Don't want to hear you pout
Don't really want to know
What it's all about

There's a million ways to sing the blues
And this ain't one of them
But I guess I'd have to be in your shoes
To really understand

Naa na-na na-na na-na-na-na
Naa na-na na-na na-na
Naa na-na na-na na-na-na-na
Naa na-na na-na na

Once again, any blank fillers?

maybe instead:

"If I were you I'd try to get away
Find a quiet place to go
Maybe realize it's just a phase
While you're lying in the sun"

Are you Wigglin?

Yup, I noticed that the lyrics right here have been changed and are more decipherable. Mucho thankos for the additions!

2nd verse:
If I were you I'd try to get away
Maybe find yourself some sun
blah blah blah something
And try to stay away from guns

I hope I'm hearing it wrong, or he's not sure about these lyrics yet, because this isn't his best effort, to say the least. Anti-"emo" rock songs in general are not my favorite. Unles it's "Your Favorite Music" by Clem Snide, but even that gets somewhat tedious on that album, compared to how amazing the rest of it is.

Oh now I've read the other posts more carefully, I guess the "stay away from guns" thing is an older idea and now it's more finalized. That's good because I didn't like that so much.
