Lyrics
It's too hot! It's too cold! It's too windy!
The ribeye's are far too well done
There's nothing to watch on 2,000 channels
And I'm not having nearly enough fun
The gas for the vette's too expensive
There's not enough choice on the shelves
My big new TV has not yet been delivered
The UPS should be ashamed of themselves
First World Problems, First World Problems
Things are so difficult, you see
My life is just full of these big First World Problems
Have pity on poor old me
I've been spending too long, stuck in traffic
When I'm trying to get to the mall
Hey buddy can you spare me some bitcoin
Oh, the shame of it all
Chorus
I can't understand why the rest of the world
Seems insensitive to our plight
All they care about is eating
Or surviving through the night
Chorus
