lyrics

How do you wear your discontent?
Does it hang on a fine silver chain?
Does it sparkle and shine like your fourth glass of wine
Which you drink on the porch in the rain?

How do you wear your discontent?
Does it go with your red leather shoes?
Does it hum baritone as you talk on the phone
Crooning those workaday blues?

Chorus: Dissatisfaction suits you
Better than you thought it ever could
There’s no glory in contentment’s lazy calm
Let the itch become the balm
Put it on, put it on.

How do you wear your discontent?
Does it drag as you walk down the street?
Does it stick in the cracks of sidewalks and train tracks
Or get brittle and stale in the heat?

{Chorus}

How do you wear your discontent?
Does it peek through the slit in your dress?
Does it draw hungry looks from policemen and crooks?
Turn your self-righteous ‘no’ into ‘yes’?

{Chorus}
