We Can Do It Together (Non-Explicit Swearjar Version) Video (MV)

Trying to write a feel good song in bad times
Trying to look straight ahead but paths wind
Keep my head up and follow the cat eyes
Every time I steady the ship, I capsize
Pastimes pass time and that's fine
But zips by and it's gone and that's life
I act like I'm invincible and have time
Is dementia genetic am I stuck on my Dad's side?
Who knows, kudos to you though
It's enough waking up without wanting to judo
Chop... every person who gets in your way
When you didn't even wanna bother
Getting up today

But the blues ain't forever
Just the usual weather
This int a foolish endeavour
We can do it together
Keep having dreams
Even if no-one believes in them
Breathe in and be free
Things aren't as bleak as they seem
Keep having dreams
Even if no-one believes in them
Breathe out any doubt
Things aren't as bleak as they seem

Trying to write a feel good song but feel crap
Mental health grabs the top of your noggin and peels back
Or kicks the heck out of your energy with steel caps
Everyone's self esteem reveals gaps
But the person in charge is you
Many simple tasks we can hardly do
Waking up in the morning is carnage too
Wanna kill yourself before you've had a brew
Stop... put the kettle on
Put some good hip-hop or some metal on
Don't put the news or the telly on
And don't take any crap from anyone

But the blues ain't forever
Just the usual weather
This int a foolish endeavour
We can do it together
Keep having dreams
Even if no-one believes in them
Breathe in and be free
Things aren't as bleak as they seem
Keep having dreams
Even if no-one believes in them
Breathe out any doubt
Things aren't as bleak as they seem

Tried to write a feel good song but hate lots
Posed selfie taking, likes and faceswaps
Celebrity worship, sycophants, name drops
That factory they have in hell that makes pop
If there's a bad smell people don't wanna sniff it
But bad sounds in your ears - people live with it
You are the product - of what you put in your body
That's why everyone seems to cut or they copy
Couldn't we probably start again and agree that love for a hobby's
A greater purpose than needing people to look at you properly?
Cos you emulate them and you look like twins
We get the blues sometimes cos we don't fit in

But the blues ain't forever
Just the usual weather
This int a foolish endeavour
We can do it together
Keep having dreams
Even if no-one believes in them
Breathe in and be free
Things aren't as bleak as they seem
Keep having dreams
Even if no-one believes in them
Breathe out any doubt
Things aren't as bleak as they seem

Tried to write a feel good album, guess what?
It still came out a little jaded and pissed off
But I did all the production and there's no guest spots
And it makes me smile so I gave it my best shot
I needed this the reason is my recent thing is being miserable
I'm stuck between this feeling that I'm pitiful
For not being a stronger individual
Versus falling apart cos my Dad's in an assisted living home
Cos people have got it worse
And everybody dies, at least he was there from birth
At least he was spared the curse
Of being aware that we are despairing at the unfairness as people
Prepare him to leave the earth
