lyrics

There's so much fighting in the world today
And global poverty is on the rise
The inequality gap it widens fast
but Countdown don't stock my favourite pies.

First world problems, they bring me down
First world problems, all around
First world problems, so unfair
First world problems, oh yeah

I hear about ebola on the news
And about the bush fires in the western isle
But all of this has no significance to me
Coz my teeth aren't white enough to smile

First world problems, they bring me down
First world problems, all around
First world problems, so unfair
First world problems, oh yeah

I feel the pang of sadness rising,
When are the All Blacks arriving
What's all this about starvation
I can't reboot my playstation
I have no charge in my iPhone
Are they still rebuilding the red zone
Oh what does all this mean to me oooooh.

The ocean temperatures are creeping up
And earth is warming day by day
But all of this well it just don't matter to me
I just don't know what song I want to play.

First world problems, they bring me down
First world problems, all around
First world problems, so unfair
First world problems, oh yeah



First world problems, they won't go away
First world problems, they're here to stay
First world problems, so misunderstood
First world problems, they're here for good

My first world problems they won't go
My first world problems they won't go
My first world problems they won't go
My first world problems they won't go

My first world problems
My first world problems
My first world problems
My first world problems
