Well, This Is Shit - Lyrics
There's nothing anyone can do, there's nothing anyone can say,
There's little can be done right now to make this go away,
Cliched, simple platitudes do naught to quell the dread,
And the breadth and gravity just send me crawling back to bed,
It's useless in this moment to say we'll get through this somehow,
There's time enough for action, but that time isn't now,
Soon we can start planning for what may come to be,
But what I could use right now is a bacon roll and a cup of tea,
I don't need positive affirmations, I need to scream and ball,
The unrealistic expectations, Won't help with this at all
Chorus
This is shit! Well, This is shit
I'm not expecting answers,
Because they're out of your remit,
I'm not looking for solutions,
Just for someone to admit,
This is shit, this is shit, this is shit
You're trying to be helpful, and that is always nice,
But right now all logic only grates so don't try to give advice,
I need someone to rant at who'll not judge or take offence,
At my incessant fucking swearing and my unfiltered sentiments,
So stop the pragmatic interventions, just nod and say you understand,
Pretend I'm not being an unreasonable areshole and hold onto my hand
Repeat Chorus
So let's all sit and just quietly get pissed,
And drunkenly attempt to over analyse all of this,
We may now be bidding the old times goodbye,
So let's not feel embarrassed to have a bloody good cry!
Repeat Chorus x2
If ever there was an anthem for the depressed, the frustrated, and the helpless, this is it. Yes, therapy helps. Yes, chemistry is wonderful. But there are times when you just want to scream and cry without causing everyone to step carefully away while thinking about calling the authorities.
Thank you, Mr. Wild. Long may you continue to speak what so many cannot express nearly as eloquently or as funnily.
Well said sir. We in Canada have at least made the herbal smoking mixture and enhanced sweets legal, it takes the edge of a bit. :0)
Dude, no offence, but if you are still screaming you aren't depressed. Depression is what happens when you give up on giving up. When even losing loses it's luster. When dying doesn't feel like a release because you just *know* that you won't get to die!
@@bramvanduijn8086 No offense taken. Depression comes ina variety of flavours and I'd probably scream in frustration if I knew death wouldn't have the decency to be a proper end. Here's to better days when this song isn't quite so apt.
Therapy and chemistry actually tell us that releasing our emotions through screaming and crying is actually very good for you in some situations, so please, scream, cry, and acknowlege your frustrations, we all understand
@@bramvanduijn8086 not everyone's depression manifests the same way... and for some, yes, it *does* get better- it's still a fight, but it gets better.
This is a great song to find during this time in my life. My infant son died of cancer and I don't need people to tell me "it was his time" or "we can't know why" or "have you reconciled?" or.... Anything, really. Except maybe, "I'm here with you." I appreciate all those who brought food or little tokens of comfort. Those who picked up the phone at 3am. Those who continue to pray for our family. But, yeah. This song says it.
Deepest condolences. I can’t even imagine going through that and hearing things people were telling you.
@@sarahmoss1414 thank you
Condolences. I cannot even imagine it. Our daughter is 24 and I still shudder to even think it. And yeah there are no words that are going to "fix" that or "make it better."
When the bard in your party is chaotic neutral
@J. Thomas Miday Yeah, but if that bard doesn't inspire courage, my next targeted manyshot is headed in that direction. 😉
Lol so true I'm a chaotic evil rouge
@@bjdefilippo447 i stabbed my bard once because he wasn't doing anything
@@biboymasky2647 Understandable!
@@bjdefilippo447 i made him 1 hit point away from death and everyone laughed
Stumbled upon this song after falling in love with "I've no more fucks to give". But, I must say, "This is shit," fully encapsulates my mood at the moment. Bravo!
Thank you for leading me to another awesome song
Indeed! ❤️
both are a mood a wonderfully fun songs about this thing we call life
i agree with this person
Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence.
Think this should be the official song of 2020
If "I've No More Fucks To Give" was the anthem of 2019, this is a more than worthy sequel.
"True" to both of you
Facts
Agreed
I was just going to make the comment that this should be the Anthem of 2020 but yo beat me to it well played!
This is being a depressed child with supportive parents felt like.
I was lucky to have them as their support was vital, but what they (/non-depressed people in general) struggled to understand was that I didn't always want solutions to my problems (especially when me being unable to pursue these solutions was what caused the problem in the first place), sometimes I just wanted to revel in my misery and allowing myself to do that without a bad conscience helped a great deal to feel better.
I always heard to just go and solve my problems (solutions not included) and to stop acting.
I still managed to kill my depression, along with all other feelings.
this man's lovable semi aggressive and sarcastic humor has gotten me through my school life for a while and i just have to say thank you, tom, we all love you
When I was in college I used to play this after every exam so I feel ya
Just wait until you're older and it gets really clear WHAT you want to do with your life, but it's still gonna take time and money to make it happen. You'll gain a whole new appreciation for just wanting to bitch about things in the mean time.
I wandered my kitchen very loudly singing this yesterday during a depressive episode while wildly flailing all my limbs around, and it really honest to god helped.
Hey MayliSong, the image of you singing this in your kitchen at the top of your lungs with limbs going like an electrocuted Professor Hawking cheered me up almost as much as the song.
This song speaks to me on a spiritual level.
🤣👍🏻
Me too
Yep
This song speaks to me on a molecular level.
This touches the soul I didnt have
There is something rather satisfying about listening to a man wearing a bowler and bow tie, playing a banjolellie and singing about something we are thinking and feeling.
So speaking as a professional mental health therapist ... this is so needed right now. It's been my anthem (without having heard it) since March when all this sh## started. And it will be in the back of my mind every session now. A+ as always, good sir.
Thank you for conducting therapy sessions, you are doing good and much-needed work
Have an internet pat on the back, mate. Best I can give but I'll be damned if I'm not handing them out to anyone and everyone working in the emotional sewage cleaning business, especially these days.
As a covid ward worker this is on loop in my head.
@@hplovehandle I counsel quite a few workers, Dave. Sending you a crapton of compassion. And yes, it's all sh##
@@mjollnir97 thank you my friend, I appreciate it. PTSD,anyone?
Some dude: You can't make the perfect song about 2020.
Thomas: Hold my Calamity.
I thought it would of been something along the lines of “hold my beard oils!”
@@evepayler1461or hold my fucks to give
Does anyone know the Queen's phone number? I would like to nominate this man for a Knighthood.
He's moving with Steampunk types. We could probably arrange for Queen Victoria to Knight him.
I would but it's in Metric and I'm American. :)
You can write her a letter. Reading them is a big part of her day and she quite enjoys it.
@@calvinthedestroyer My Fellow American...
Metric gave us nukes. Metric got us to the moon. All of Our computers calculate in metric then convert to "American" unit.
Get this man a Knighthood.

This needs to be the end credits when the world ends
On the subject of being fed up with things, please remember that if you're still feeling the pressure of 2020 there are places you can safely vent your frustrations and emotions.
Have a good day and good mental health to all
Like Minneapolis.🤪🤪🤪
Oh, the pressure of 2020...times have certainly changed for the better 😒
This past year has also been shit though. Not as bad a covid, but still shit.
When you wake up, you're out of tea, a cat shat outside your front door, your car doesn't want to start, you are short of money when lunch comes 'round, and someone yelled at you at work when it wasn't even your fault or your shift, that is when you need this song. Thank you for singing what we all need on days like this.
The anthem I didn't realize I needed till just now
Follows perfectly with no more feck's
Right?!
This is the soundtrack to my life
Or maybe you can wake up and see through the lies.
I’m going through a divorce right now and I’m struggling pretty hard. Your song was exactly what I needed to hear in this moment. God bless you sir.
I hope you're doing well :)
Right now, it doesn't feel like it, but you will get through this. Socially distanced hugs 😉
Sorry to hear about your situation. I've been there. It's devastating losing a partner, no matter how, and even if things weren't great. I hope you've got whatever support and resources you need to hang in there while the healing begins.
Sorry for that. Hope it turns out for the best, even though it sucks right now.
Sorry man. Best of luck and remember that you are a wise person to go through with it (a bit late so sorry for that if its untimely)
"There's time enough for action, but that time isn't now."
Well, if that isn't what I needed to hear. Thank you sir
My father died 4 days ago. I don't know whether to play this at his funeral, or in the car when we drive back from the cemetery. He would have appreciated either one
This is what I mean when I tell people that humour is a powerful weapon against the darkness.
Wishing you all the best 🙏🏻
I'm now envisaging a post-apocalyptic future, in which all that survives of human civilization is this song playing on an endless loop.
That's good! Perfect
Might be next year, let’s admit 😂
Kinda like in AHS apocalypse! Lol
Honestly that would be really poetic. Just the idea of someone acknowledging that nothing is getting better and still finding the time to say “We were here, and while we had a good run, we fucked it up in the end”.
Lol 💓✌️
My wife is rolling into the Operating Room for a c-section.
This is the song I will be playing for her over the blue tooth speaker while they begin the surgery…
Thank you for this amazing song at this moment in my life!
"...because they're out of your remit." Dang, that's a great rhyme.
Seriously sir, here I am, feeling like I'm going to cry, wasting time on RUclips instead of sleeping. And here you give me the antidote to my depression. Thank you sir!!!
Anyone who can rhyme remit with shit is all right in my book. Cracking work Mr Wild!
Currently going through cancer treatments - approx 18 months worth - this song was recommended by my therapist & I've been sharing it with my fellow cancer-copers! Its been on a loop in my head for a while now
Not being ironic, but this is genuinely raising my serotonin levels. And after the shit day I had, this is healing my headache.
He singing what we’re feeling. It is oddly helpful.
Helping more than meds, but that's not saying much.
Comradery is right up there with laughter in terms of the best medicine.
Yea I had a terrible day at work today, came home and watched I've no more fucks to give 4 times in a row, which led me to I Don't Want Kids (I think that was the title?) which totally speaks to me amd now I'm all wrapped up in listening to this guy and I feel so much better!
You know how sometimes there is a process to fixing a problem?
Step 1: Have a breakdown
Step 2: Figure out the solution to the problem.
This song is basically "Let me do Step 1 than I can do Step 2."
And God I wish I found this song in 2020, it would have been perfect to listen to it then!😂🤩
I haven't slept in almost two days and accidentally burned myself with the heating pad again because my endometriosis pain is so intense I didn't realize what was happening. This is an excellent time for the algorithm to send this my way.
I swear this fits the Whose Line Is It Anyway Hoedown tune...
I'm glad I'm not the only one hearing it.
Folk is folk 🤷♂️ seems like a similar progression at first glance, yeah
How on earth did you ever notice that? That's incredible.
Do they still do that part in the show with the newer episodes?
@@hobbit9865 I didn’t realise it was even still made. I only watched the original, but I know the Americans made a version of it.
My best friend is battling stage 4 colon cancer and the RUclips algorithm didn’t disappoint and put this on my feed…just played it for him and him n I just sat there and laughed for a bit it felt really good thank you for this amazing song 😂
a perfect summation of the genneral feelings for this year
and a really nice song i like.
I wish more people would hear this. Despite being hilarious in the wording, this is something very important about being a friend to people.
The perfect song about my 2 year cancer ordeal doesn’t exis-
Better than “Fight Song” -for my personality, anyway.
Glad you’re doing well! :)
So all I can tell you (censored) is: that’s definitely shucking fit.
This is true. Toxic positivity is bullshit. Sometimes I don’t want anything but to be in the moment and while I know it will get better I just need you to shut up so I can feel what I’m feeling, work through and be able to move forward after the emotions are sorted
Unus Annus just deleted itself an hour ago, so this was really fitting to see it in my notifications.
#WeWereHere
I just wrote the lyrics down for a friend, so if anyone wants them, here they are (And if you find a mistake, let me know):
There's nothing anyone can do, there's nothing anyone can say.
There's little can be done right now to make this go away.
Clichéd simple platitudes do naught to quell the dread,
and the breadth and gravity just sent me crawling back to bed.
It's useless in this moment to say „We'll get through this somehow“.
There's time enough for action, but that time isn't now.
Soon we can start planning for what may come to be.
But what I could really use right now is a bacon roll and a cup of tea.
I don't need positive affirmations, I need to scream and bawl.
The unrealistic expectations won't help with this at all.
This is shit, well, this is shit.
I'm not expecting answers, because they're out of your remit.
I'm not looking for solutions, just for someone to admit
that this is shit, this is shit, this is shit.
You're trying to be helpful, and that is always nice.

I'm not expecting answers, because they're out of your remit.
I'm not looking for solutions, just for someone to admit
that this is shit, this is shit, this is shit.
So let's all sit and just quietly get pissed
and drunkenly attempt to over-analyze all of this.

So let's not feel too embarrassed to have a bloody good cry.
This is shit, well, this is shit.

Just did a quick read over the first bit and I found one small mistake the first “that this is shit” has is replaced with ist
@@Dezignfuzion Thank you, I fixed it. It was even there several times. That's when the German hits and you copy/paste that part. :D
@@Panbaneesha no problem! :D
You absolutely legend. Thank you.
@@kyacameronelamwood4806 Glad you find it helpful. :)
The sentiment we all need right now
I needed this song a few years ago. Everyone keeps saying this is a terrible year and that's what will make you think that. 2020 hasn't been my worst year or even my weirdest year.
This man needs to be flown to NYC and be a musical guest on SNL would probably be the best episode in a while lol
Why insult our man like that?
I recently finally go around to watching an episode of SNL - now, that was shit.
This song hits differently after a cancer battle, and during recovery. I listen to it a lot.
This man is a genius. How he encapsulates one of the most raw emotions of modern time with such aplomb and effortlessness, is really impressive.
Dear sir, you can have some of my 'fucks'.
How does someone have this olde timey aesthetic and voice come up with this? Absolutely fantastic
This has quickly become my at work theme tune, quite often played over the in-store radio system to staff and customers alike, never fails to raise a smile!
This and "I've no more f***s to give" perfectly encapsulate my two extremes on any given day.
Very true right now
This is called "The Feelings Phase" of a problem. Sometimes you're just not ready to solve things, and need some time to vent.
Well,Thomas, you've just explained 2020 in a nutshell!
Edit: Also, nice video work by the Bedford College 1st year media art students .
you good sir are the living embodiment of my raging inner voice... thankyou
I've tried no end of things on my OCD bad days. Meditation, exercise, journaling, and every kind of vice before that. No joke, this song has become my go to as the only thing that reliably snaps me out of it.
This will forever be my anthem for 2020, it couldn’t be more accurate!
2021 too 🤣
tom: 'have a bloody good crRrrRryyYyYyy'
me: ok brb
This is the most realest thing ever
This is brilliant! (yes events around the world may well be shit, but this video isn't!) Great editing, great music and a delightful performance! I love your work.
Thank you so much for posting! Take care - Stay healthy!
This song perfectly describes my 2021.
I love the line about not feeling not embarrassed to have a bloody good cry.
The perfect 2020 anthem!
I never thought I would come back to this song but here I am.
Relief after the hardest day at work for quarter of a year. To bad I can only give a single thumbs up. Well have these anyway, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I see your thumbnail, thank you for the hard work you do! My mother was involved with health care and it was hard back before Covid.
@@isaiahcampbell488 Thank you, I appreciate it.
Definitely applicable in 2021 as well.
My feeling when Uni expected me to physically had in my first year nursing portfolio in person (yes still using paper in 2020 😒).
Just an 80ish mile journey in the middle of a national lockdown 🤷♀️
They've now accepted that the postal service is a thing after numerous phone calls.
Wait, _nursing school_ tried to require you to travel 80 miles during lockdown? That is weird, to say the least...
@@TreespeakerOfTheLand Oh yeah. You couldn't make this stuff up! Got it sorted now though!
@@jodders619 Glad you got it sorted out. And, if anything, they gave you experience in handling annoying bureaucracy. Can be a good skill with the waiting lists in health services :P
@@TreespeakerOfTheLand I've plenty experience dealing with petty bureaucracy, I've worked in the NHS for the last 6 years! 😁
@@jodders619 Welp, now I understand how you were able to get your uni to see reason...
I think your song just saved my life..... I was sitting in quite, no will to listen to or do anything then before I gave up I came here and this song didn't fix it but thanks to you I think I can go a little further.
I'm not a huge ragtime fan, but this is golden. Golden shit 🤣
😂😂
I really think this has more talent then all of Disney atm. Such a throwback, while being modern about the suffering life can dump on you randomly; a masterpiece.
As a restaurant kitchen manager, I play this every morning due to terrible staff and ownership. Keeps me going inside.
Pretty much the same situation as me, except I work at a Dollar General
I wasn’t expecting to find a song that perfectly encapsulates my feelings about living in a big city, but here we are.
This is the kind of quality content the world needs right now 😂
his passive aggressive mood hits just right when ya feel it
Another great song that is the perfect anthem for this year, but also super useful in general
I don't have any idea how, but this song almost made me cry? This is... honestly the best way I could possibly say how I feel right now and it's really nice to know that I'm not alone in feeling this.
Can we get this to Christmas number 1?
He already had a Christmas song, "Smile and Nod". Check it out, it's delightful 😀
Surely a Christmas number 2 would be more appropriate.
@@FlannersEsquire 🤣
Whenever I'm having a down day. Like today I like to listen to songs like this and revel in my fed-up attitude in the most upbeat music type of way
I smirked at the dark humour. It raised my spirits a little. Thank you for the slight respite from grimness!
Can put this mans music in a block buster movie so the whole world can enjoy this stuff.
This man has a direct line to my brain, and I love it endlessly.
First it was I've No More Fucks To Give, then I Don't Want Kids, and now this absolute gem.
You, Sir, are supremely brilliant!
Useful songs for sing-alongs ... nice rhymes for hard-times.
Its a song about my hopes and dreams how lovely
This song is a fabulous and healthy way of looking at life.
Imagine if sarcasm and dry humor were a music genre.
Now it is!
Tom Lehrer
another classic song
A masterpiece has been created.
I work in healthcare, Cat San in a very busy ER, I didn't know how much I needed this song until I heard it. Thank you.
Protect this soul of gentlemanlyness at all cost!
The best smiles ever are featured in this video.
Well that is 2020 in a nutshell. BBC news should sign off with this every night
Thank you ❤
I found this last week. My father passed away the week before. This is the first time I've experienced grief of this gravity. Neither I nor the people around me know what to expect from me in this time & my nearest & dearest all want to help & I want to let them, but no one can grasp what I need - including me.
This song helped define the ineffable. Turns out . . . That's one of the things I needed.
Again, thank you. *So much.*
His voices is the one we need for these trying times!
Between this song and I've No More Fucks to Give, my whole day has pretty much been summed up.
My wife and I separated yesterday after 10 years marriage and my son has gone with her. If there was ever a perfect song about how I feel right now, this is it.
Hope things are better for you now, friend
@@carlospomares3225 Thanks, but I haven't seen him since.
Man best song ever. perfect for the family
edit: been 9 months and came to visit this song, I forgot I actually left a comment during my depressing phase
Another gem, thank you and keep them going.
This song actually reflecs my own life as an adult who's trying to survive this cruel, cruel, world. Thank you sir.
I love this so much. It's so true.
Yup. Finally, something that describes my current mood
I'd love to dedicate this to all the "therapists" I've ever had.Just admit that my life's been shit,don't judge me or try to give advice cause you don't understand.Just LISTEN!!Anyone relate??Peace,love and healing from Australia XOXO
For real x,D you cant look at my life and tell me with a straight face that I didn't get gipped. Lol
OMG YES!
Sometimes it´s just all shit and noone could ever change anything about it. Just accept it, life´s not great for everybody.
Yup. Sums up everything nicely.
I love Mr. Wild! He helps me look at my shit differently! Thank you for this...
I'm in love with the brevity of his word choice
It's my birthday, and this is the perfect positivity I needed. Thank you.
The song that defined my year 2022 according to RUclips recap.
This really brightened my day.
How did I miss this song after all this time!? It’s perfect!!!
