Artist: David Byrne Album: Uh-Oh Year: 1992 Title: Something Ain't Right Print Correct
Prime time in the living rooms And now all the drapes are closed Moonlight shinin' from above It seems like ev'rybody knows
Oh - something ain't right Oh - something ain't right
Well, God can turn the world around And he can push it in the dirt And he can tear it all apart And he don't care who all gets hurt
Oh - something ain't right Oh - something ain't right
There's a place where money grows on trees Now the only way to reach it's on your knees
C'mon down - you old fart Let's see if you have got a heart It ain't true - it's all lies Are you the devil in disguise? Won't give up - won't bow down I'm gonna tear your playhouse down
He said: Oh - something ain't right Oh - something ain't right
Twinkle twinkle twinkle little star Who the hell now do you think you are?
Oh - something ain't right Oh - something ain't right Oh - something ain't right Oh - something ain't right
Sorry, just amazed by how much I think like David Byrne.

I think from his songs that his observations are of the human condition. I doubt he has more problems than you do and maybe less.

A wild turkey was being hunted and was running from it's life. On it's way through the plains, it saw a bull.
"Help me hide!", said the turkey. "Well, why don't you fly to one of the branches on this tree, and hide in there", replied the bull. "I can't fly because I dont have enough energy, said the turkey" "Well, just peck on some of my shit and you'll get your strength back", said the bull.
So the turkey pecked on some of the bull's manure and got to the lowest branch. It pecked on some more, and got to one higher. After eating some more shit, it got to the highest branch, where the hunter spotted it and shot it down.
Bullshit might bring you high, but eventually you'll get caught and shot right down. 
The wealthiest people didn't get to their life status by bullshitting or kissing ass.
