First World Problems
Times they are a changing and I'm shit outta luck
Everybody's talking at me saying they've got it tough
Living in the first world has it's problems I'm sure
Why on earth give us the right to vote when it's such a chore?
And the guy beside me's aftershave's stinking up the train
Escalator's out of order, climbing stairs is a pain
And there's never any milk left and there's no one to blame
So I hope you pull your head in when I say
First world problems
You think that you're the only one but millions of people have got em
First world problems
There's always someone somewhere worse off I guess you forgot em?
So update your Facebook saying that this life is unfair
And get a million likes from folks you don't know but care
You've got a lot to say but no it don't mean a thing
So I hope you hear me Sally when I sing
It's just first world problems
Lying on your lounge feeling hungry and tired
Cos the food that you just ordered took too long to arrive
So while you waste away just clinging to life
Some poor girl in north east Melbourne got raped and she died
And I'm sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable, Joe
But food can be re-heated in an oven you know
But the oven's in the kitchen and it's so far away
My tummy tumbles for ya when I say
First world problems
Can someone please pick the pineapple out I think I might cry
First world problems
OMG FML WTF LOL DIY
So update your Facebook crying cos your pizza was cold
And have your friends boycott the brand and see that it folds
And while a digger in the desert douses dust from his eye
I hope that someday you will surely realise
It's just first world problems
Boo hoo hoo
Where is my TV remote?
Boo hoo hoo
How am I to watch my shows?
In the time it's taken to get this far along
It has come to mind that I could be the one in the wrong
Complaining bout complainers is an ironic tact
It's the armpit and the arse hole it's the kettle that's black
I could spend my time more wisely serving people in need
I could donate blood or help a homeless man on the street
I could go to jail for saving whales and I'd feel fine so tell me
Where does one man go to find the time?
First world problems
It's easier to pout than put yourself out lord knows I've tried
First world problems
Singing sometimes sucks when you can't think of a rhyme
So I'll update my facebook with this song and sit in my chair
I'll ignore the air conditioning that dries out my hair
And I'll whistle while I wait for all your likes to upload
So tell me why is my connection so damn slow?
It's just first world problems
Everybody's talking at me saying they've got it tough
Living in the first world has it's problems I'm sure
Why on earth give us the right to vote when it's such a chore?
And the guy beside me's aftershave's stinking up the train
