[Verse 1]
Amongst the cypress and quartz I roamed
I learned to wince at the church bell’s toll
Preferred katydids and thunder’s roll
It never felt all bad

Wanted for nothin' with a bad luck streak
I turned a rock over in every creek
Whistled strong because my body was weak
It didn’t feel all bad

[Chorus]
Can’t complain, cuz who would listen?
You wouldn’t envy my position
Engineered imploding or the way that she goes
Only my eyes will glisten

[Verse 2]
Moved to a hollow at the plateau’s cusp
I talked to barred owls and bats at dusk
Cornered by cul-de-sacs and craving thе rust
It kinda felt all bad

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I grew a little into dеafening rage
Every hometown's a well-built cage
Be it high iron, highway, or stage
Don’t let it be all bad
I’ve been indebted to a surgeon’s blade
Probation officers and nerves that frayed
Only the choiceless ever gladly stay
Refuse to be all bad

[Chorus]
Can’t complain, cuz who would listen?
You wouldn’t envy my position
Engineered imploding or the way that she goes
Only my eyes will glisten

[Verse 4]
We bury friends and try to share our pain
November hurricanes and acid rain
They built to burn but we will live to maintain
Because it ain't all bad
