lyrics

I know nothing's perfect, but I'm trying not care.
I know there's a good life for me, waiting somewhere out there.

you know you've been hard on me, i'm trying not to be so sensitive.
society, my friends and my family want me to be a man,
but I'm still a frightened kid.

you're ok, you're alright.
you're ok, you're just fine.

I know life is far from fair, people rarely get what they deserve.
you know life is anything but fair.
listen, but don't believe what you have heard.

you're ok, you're alright.
you're ok, you're just fine.

and I know nothing's perfect, but I'm trying not to care.
and I know there's a good life for me, waiting somewhere out there.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."
