lyrics

Think of a time...the last time your plans fell through
I'll help you out and I'll think of my last time, too
As I recall, man, I was really feelin' blue
'Cause when the blizzard hit we had to call off the east coast tour

An inconvenience
Kind of a bummer, yeah
Disappointing to be sure
But not the end of the world

Think of the cavemen, cavewomen and children, too
What if your dinner was a hairy one hundred times bigger than you
What if your handmade bone shaped club had snapped in two
Well, you'd be hungry until you found another tool that you could use

An inconvenience
Kind of a bummer, yeah
Disappointing to be sure
But not the end of the world

We all have times when we struggle with one thing or another
But it's very important to remember that not all of these struggles will last forever
And you never know the next day the sun might rise and you'll be feeling fine

So when your power's out or you're stuck on your commute
When you just can't do what you really really really want to
You must remember that life is full of jumping through hoops
It's a mess but don't let the stress get the best of you

An inconvenience
Kind of a bummer, yeah
Disappointing to be sure
But not the end of the world

An inconvenience
Kind of a bummer, yeah
But it's not no it's not
