Pneumonia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Get over the sorrow, girl
The world is always going to be made of this
You can trust in it, unless you breathe in bravely

Would be the hugest crime of them all, hugest crime of them all
You're just crying after all
To not want them humans around anymore
[Outro]
Get over that sorrow, girl
Get over it
