lyrics

BRENDAN (GRUMPY GUY):
Well I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me
I am sitting home alone on a New Year’s Eve
Wallowing in sorrow like a sad-faced clown
Following a fairy tale and feeling so down, and

It’s not all right
What’s with this melancholy
It’s not all right
Where is my grand finale

‘Cause there is no hero who will do the right thing
No fat lady ever gets to sing
The author copped out on the very last page
I guess I’m just a product of the Hollywood age, but

It’s not all right
The world just walks on by and
It’s not all right
They leave her there to die and

I can see them now in their party dress
No one giving a thought to this little girl’s distress
We’re all nothing but hypocrites
Making resolutions and making lists
We’re talking big and we’re acting small
Nobody’s ever gonna change at all...

If I could change one thing I’d get right outa this chair
Get out of this room into the cold fresh air
There’s a little time left on this New Year’s night
There’s something that I’ve gotta do before daylight, ‘cause

It’s not all right
And that girl deserves much better
It’s not all right
I’ve got to go and get her and show her

Somewhere out there better than this place
Someone with some kindness on their face
