lyrics

First World Problems

Pick up your face
You’ve no need to feel down
Measure your problems with those all around
And you’ll see
It’s all first world
Don’t be so selfish
Don’t be introspective
Broaden your mind to the global perspective
And see
It’s all first world

So don’t give me your problems
I’ve got problems of my own
And I have no sympathy
For those who don’t know they’re born

Count your blessings and
Those around you who
Care about you would
Never doubt you cause you
Are not of this world
If you have somewhere to live
And you have food to eat
And you have clothes on your back and
Shoes on your feet
You’ve no right to complain

It’s not a disease if you can’t even see it
You just want attention
You just want to be in the
Centre of things
I know your type
It’s a new generation
When I was younger we never had
Problems like these
‘Cause we fought ‘til we dropped
And we worked ‘til we dropped
And it was all a bed of roses

So don’t give me your problems
I’ve got some of my own
And I have no sympathy
‘Cause you’re over dramatic
You’re over emphatic
You’re exaggerating
You’re always complaining
You don’t know you’re born
You don’t know who you are
You don’t know who I am
You don’t know what this is

about

Carol Hodge Huddersfield, UK

Carol Hodge is a 7-fingered, piano-pounding, Yorkshire-dwelling Singer-Songwriter. Think Regina Spektor meets Billy Bragg, but with fewer digits and a continuous existential crisis, sandwiched between bitter irony and relentless optimism. You won’t know whether to laugh or cry, but will definitely feel something.
Long-term collaborator with Steve Ignorant (CRASS); Ginger Wildheart.
