Lyrics of Feelings in a song

Why, oh why, do I feel bad this day?
The politics, the politics, just seem to get in my way.
And why can't we all just get along?
Instead of confronting and yelling, lets put good feelings in a song?

No need for physical pain.
No need for ugly words.
No need to cut someone down.
Try lyrics without a frown.

For every bad thing we say,
let us list a good thing too.
We don't have to mince our words.
But having a fair balance is the thing to do.

Time is not standing still
and I agree, something must be done.
But do we have to hit them where it hurts.
Then brag that we have just won?

Disagreeing and self righteousness
isn't getting us very far.
Should we lower our expectations?
Should we lower the bar?

Good words can move us
to do not what is wrong.
So let's soften up the lyrics.
And let's put our feelings in a song.
