about

I'm sorry

lyrics

It's about time for a real American apology tour…

I'm sorry
I'm sorry that our government spends more money on drone strikes
Than on making sure you have a hot meal and a safe place to sleep tonight

Zip a dee doo dah
Zip a dee ay
My oh my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine
Heading my way
Zip a dee doo dah
Zip a dee ay

I'm sorry
I'm sorry our society pretends like you don't exist
Or like all you need is a sturdy pair of bootstraps to pull yourself out of this shit

Zip a dee doo dah
Zip a dee ay
My oh my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine
Heading my way
Zip a dee doo dah
Zip a dee ay

But mostly, I'm sorry I rolled up my windows and tried my best not to make eye contact
Because I'm in kind of a hurry and problems are easier to deal with when they're abstract
I mean, it's easy to bitch about poverty and injustice: words are cheap, but when it comes time to choose
Between a meaningful sacrifice and my own interests, I'm most likely to make up some excuse
Like, "I'm just too busy," or, "He'll probably just spend it all on booze"

Zip a dee doo dah
Zip a dee ay
My oh my, what a wonderful day
