A peppy pop rocker about people who can't manage to be happy, and like it that way!

I finally decided to write a song about my ex. The words just fell together, and the music just plain fun to write and arrange.

YOU THRIVE ON CONFLICT
Copyright 2004 Steve Cowell

Every morning it’s the same old thing
The wrong side of the bed
If you’re not happy, then no one’s happy
You just got it in your head
You stomp and slam
You bi*** and moan
You hate the world
You hate your home
You never smile
You stare in space
Your anger shows
All over your face

Chorus:
You thrive on conflict
But it eats you up inside
And it keeps you up at night
You thrive on conflict
And you just won’t let it die

There’s a dark cloud hanging over you
It’s everywhere you go
You look for trouble, and if you can’t find it
You make some of your own
You fuss and cuss
You whine and cry
You make demands
You start a fight
You lie and cheat
You have no friends
And every day
It starts all over again

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge:
You’re like a child, so immature
So sure you’re right, yet insecure
Whenever you don’t get your way
You make sure everybody pays

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
