[Verse 1]
         A         E7            A
Have you smelled that rotting dumpster fire baking?
     E7                                       A
Well that’s this shitty world that we’ve been making
              E7
There’s never been a time like this
      A
Where everybody’s pissed
     B7                            E7
That hasn’t ended with some bones a-breaking
 
 
[Verse 2]
A               E7            A
Slinging mud is making people heated
             E7                            A
The earth is getting warmer, even that’s debated
           E7
So whether you lean left or right
            A           F#6
Hope you’re ready for a fight
         A          E7               A *
C'est la vie to the height of olden days
N.C
Like when we had slaves?
 
 
[Chorus]
            D
It’s not so bad - The dems are cheating
            A
It’s not so bad - Look what we’re eating
            B7                                  E7
It’s not so bad - There’s no escaping that we’re doomed
E7
It’s not all bad news - Bum bum bum
 
 
[Verse 3]
A
My name’s Grace and I’m here to say
        E7
There’s good news happening every single day
     A
Like today, I saw a man, he was walking a cat
      E7
I saw another man fall and I caught it on snapchat
A                                     E7
This made me laugh, this me cry (from laughing)
E7
I love the jokes on Laffy Taffys
     B7
It’s ok to be down if you get up again
         E7
There’s always good news cause I’m your friend
 
 
[Verse 4]
A                E7       A
What the hell is going on around me
             E7                          A
My dad gives me a gun at every Christian holiday
            E7
It’s always wrong versus right
A
Black versus (blue) white
    A             E7         A
I’m getting kinda jealous of Harambe
 
 
[Chorus]
            D
It’s not so bad - There's war and famine
            A
It’s not so bad - And Jimmy Fallon
            B7                           E7
It’s not so bad - We must examine why we suck
We're not all fucked - Bum bum bum
 
 
[Verse 5]
A
Yo Grace is back with some really good news
   E7
At least you don’t look like Ted Cruz
A
Look at this elephant, look at this child, 
E7
Look at this meme, Rest in Peace
A
There’s more diversity, you seen Hamilton? 
E7
Selena Gomez has lupus again,
          B7
But she’s getting ahead of it, she didn’t quit for the hell of it,
        E7
There’s more where that came from if you like the smell of it
 
 
[Bridge]
    Dm7                         Am
But certainly you see all the darkness around
    Dm7                     Am
The human race is hitting a slump
                  Dm7                       A              F#6
But there’s quiet progress being made every single fucking day
         B7                                           E7
My uncle used to be a homophobe, but now he’s blowing Trump
 
 
[Verse 6]
A
It’s Grace, again, what does she want? Well
  E7
I got more good news I’m trying to tell ya
A
Jon is a sourpuss but he’s not lost
E7
Got some good news? Stranger Things rocks
       A
That’s right, that’s awesome, those kids are cute
    E7
The tiger population’s up, well doodleydoot
     B7
Yay, art is doing well cause people need to escape
          E7
And David Bowie’s still alive, I like grapes
     B7
So I hope I changed your mind if you were still on the fence
      B7         E7          A
Three cheers for unrelenting ignorance!
