Buddy hoots
Everybody hurts
Don't blow your hand
Don't throw your hand
Don't blow your head off.
Don't throw your hand.
Don't grow your hand
OR
Don't grow a hand
Don't throw your hand
Don't let yourself grow
'Cause everybody tries
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
Don't throw your half
Don't throw your hand
Don't throw your ham.
Don't throw your hand.
Don't throw your ham
Don't throw your hand
Everybody Hertz.
Everybody hurts.
Everybody burbs.
Everybody hurts.
Everybody burps.
Everybody hurts.
Everybody heard
Everybody hurts
Everybody’s whores
Everybody hurts
If you feel like you don't know
or
If you feel like you're unknown
If you feel like you're alone
R.E.M's,
"Everybody Hurts"
Now it's time to sit alone
Now it's time to sing along
Take comfort in the crowds
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your head, oh no
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand, oh no
When you think you had to launch
When you think you had too much
When you think you've had emojis
When you think you've had enough
When you think you've had some lunch
When you think you've had too much
R.E.M's,
"Everybody Hurts"
When you're all alone, and the night, the night is yours alone
or
When you're on the phone, and the guys, the guys are home alone
or
When you're on the phone, and the guys, the guys are home alone
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone
