Why is everyone so angry

Woke up this morning, turned on the news
People shouting loud, giving me the blues
Social media's buzzing, tempers running high
I just shake my head and wonder why

Used to be we'd talk it out, now it's just a fight
Every little thing, turns into a big ol' plight
What happened to the days of a friendly face?
Now it's all rage, all over the place

Why's everyone so angry, what's going on?
Can't we find some peace, just get along?
Used to be laughter, now it's just a frown
Why's everyone so angry, bringing us down?

Driving down the highway, everyone's in a rush
Cutting off each other, man, it's all too much
In the grocery line, people losing their cool
Where did we go wrong, breaking all the rules?

Remember when a handshake meant a lot?
Now it's all about what you've got or not
Can't we slow it down, take a breath or two?
Find a little kindness, it's long overdue

Why's everyone so angry, what's going on?
Can't we find some peace, just get along?
Used to be laughter, now it's just a frown
Why's everyone so angry, bringing us down?

Maybe it's the pressure, maybe it's the speed
But we all need some love, a little bit of heed
Turn off the chaos, take a step back
Find some common ground, get us back on track

Out in the country, under the open sky
Life feels a little simpler, no need to ask why
But even here, the tension's getting thick
It's time to make a change, and do it quick

So let's raise a glass, toast to better days
Leave the anger behind, find gentler ways
Life's too short to be caught up in the storm
Let's bring back the warmth, make it the norm

Why's everyone so angry, what's going on?
Can't we find some peace, just get along?
Used to be laughter, now it's just a frown
Why's everyone so angry, bringing us down?

Why's everyone so angry, let's turn it around
Find some joy, spread it all over town
Let's bring back the smiles, let's calm the storm
Why's everyone so angry, let's make love the norm
