I drove past this wreck on the side of the road
And I text my friends saying “shit that blows”
I dropped my phone and it smashed the screen
Never bought a case, It wouldn’t happen to me
I saw this man on the movie screen
Needle in his arm, and he’s struggling to breathe
I ponder outside with a smoke or three
And thank God every day that it doesn’t happen to me

Because all my choices are created
with good intentions, without luck
Why would I make the same mistakes that they did?
You sound hysterical, you must be out to lunch

Cuz things that happen to other people
Won’t happen to me!

I saw a kid who scraped his knee
I thought “damn that sucks!”, that would never happen to me!
I walked past this bum and he asked for change
I’d simply make decisions that would lead to owning a place
There’s a war on my phone, every town’s debris
It’s a good thing I live in a first world country
I heard about a guy that choked and died
Shoulda held on longer, maybe next time don’t die?
Skill issue…

I know all these people had reasons
Like comorbidities, and lack of funds
But they also lack critical thinking
I know the answers
Just look up ‘How to Scrum’

Cuz things that happen to other people
Won’t happen to me!

{Hey man, some people get dealt the wrong hand
There’s people out there struggling, just to make ends meet
Can’t put food on the table, have to work two/three jobs to survive
People get sick for no reason
People get sent to war by leaders they didn’t even vote for
People have terrible upbringings, and the trauma lead to mental illness and addictions, and not everyone has support systems
And you’re not immune to statistics
A fifth of the population experiences substance abuse disorder or addiction in their lives
You can't control everything!
You can't keep living like this!!!}

That's cool but that would never ever happen to me
Cuz things that happen to other people
Won’t happen to me!
(Penny for your thoughts, that's nice)
(They paid the ultimate price)
(It wouldn’t ever happen to me)
(The lord wouldn't do that to me)

Just another doubt, is keeping me around…
All I have are doubts, they’re keeping me around…
All I have are-
