Lyrics
[Verse 1] Monday morning train car
Somebody shoves me sideways
No apology no nothing
Just their coffee-scented sigh
I called my best friend crying
She said girl you're overthinking
But the woman at the grocery store
Gave me change with a cutting eye
[Pre-Chorus] And I don't need the whole world nice
Just a little common decency tonight
Why's it so hard to be kind
When it costs almost nothing to try
[Chorus] Why do people have to suck
Why do people have to suck
One small kindness could change the luck
But they'd rather tear you down and up
[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Why why why
Why do people have to suck
[Verse 2] Neighbor parks across my driveway
Blocks me in without a note
Landlord raised the rent again
While his yacht sails on the coast
I held the door for a stranger
He walked through without a glance
Makes me wonder if the world forgot
That we're all in this same dance
[Pre-Chorus] I'm not asking for a parade
Just don't make my good day fade away
It's a simple little trade
A little grace is all I'm hoping for today
[Chorus] Why do people have to suck
Why do people have to suck
One small kindness could change the luck
But they'd rather tear you down and up
[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Why why why
Why do people have to suck
[Bridge] Maybe they're hurting too
Maybe they lost their way
But that doesn't make it true
That I should bleed for their mistakes
So I'll hold the door regardless
And I'll smile through the day
Somebody has to start the warming
Somebody has to find a way
[Drop] Way way way way
Find a way
Way way way way
Find a way Why do people have to suck
Why do people have to suck
One small kindness could change the luck
But they'd rather tear you down and up
[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Why why why
Why do people have to suck
