I like the melodies and the message here. And the line about poop jokes.

Country song with guest vocals by Domagoj Šimek

lyrics

Well they asked me what I mean when I was only 13. They said “Boy, now I don’t think your words are making any sense.” I said “Fuck if I know. I’m just using the words you showed. You said the ones that I chose weren’t following directions.”
And they asked why can’t I just let everything be simple and do as I’m told just like everybody else, and I said I think it’s you who’s been trying to square a circle, and to me that just seems difficult, but that’s just my perspective, so you do you and I’ll be OK with it.
Well they asked me what’s so funny when I was in my 20’s. They said “Boy, now I don’t think you see how serious life is.” I said “The people in this planet and life can be a pile of shit, but poop jokes are hilarious, so why not laugh at it?”
And they asked why can’t I just let everything be simple and do as I’m told just like everybody else, and I said I think it’s you who’s been trying to square a circle, and to me that just seems difficult, but that’s just my perspective, so you do you and I’ll be OK with it.
Well that asked me if I believe now that I’m in my 30’s and depression’s blow had laid me low and left me hanging by a thread. I said “I think I finally get it. It was never my perspective, but when you talked I listened though I knew better than it.
And they asked why can’t I just let everything be simple and do as I’m told just like everybody else, and I said “I know it’s you who’s been trying to square a circle, and that ain’t fucking my fault, but good luck to you with it. So you be you, cause I don’t give a shit.”
