We're Working on It

I see Joan's alone half of the time
Yeah, she's so lonely
But she never moans on the phone
She hides it all from me

And I myself ain't right or bright all the time
But I'll keep a straight face or a smile
You see the better part of me
Half the world is just as distressed as me
But honestly, we're working on it

I saw that Curt was hurt many a time
By some old girlie
So now he fills himself with largers
Just so that no-one will see

And I myself ain't clean of hiding from the pain
With a broken heart it just ain't the same
I lost a part of me
And half the world is just as distressed as me
But hey, the fairies, are working on it

People gather round I say
I can't fix you up today
But I'll lalala
Never mind the shit you're in
You'll feel a bit better if you sing
Lalala Lalala

I know Phil is ill most of the time
Hell he's only three
But like a good dog he doesn't show
Like he's protecting me

And I myself ain't strong or wise all the time
Yeah, I assure you, this ol' mask ain't really mine
It shows the best part of me
And the world is just as distressed as me
But hey, I'm working on it

People gather round I say
I can't fix you up today
Lalala
Never mind the shit you're in
You'll feel a bit better if you sing
Lalala Lalala
