stupid middle class/whiny lyrics

s_p_g [Edit] [Delete] 12:04, 6 June '08

The singer in my band has written some whiny, insular lyrics, about how everything in his life goes wrong, when in fact a lot of it is good.

What are everyone's favourite parodies of lyrics like this, or songs which tell you to shut up and count your blessings ?

I'm thinking
Ben Folds - Rockin' the Suburbs
Holloways - Generator
Guillemots - Trains to Brazil

any more good ones ?

OR does anyone have good reviews which completely rip into angsty lyrics, so I can convince him to rethink the whole song...?
