This song really is quite pathetic. OK sure people in third world countries have it a lot worse than us, but JB shouldn't be pointing the finger at people here saying their problems are not important on a global scale. I mean if someone in Australia or any other developed country is suffering from depression you can't just say "cheer up, it could be worse". It tells me John does not really understand mental health issues.
Everyone has their problems. And with this whole 'emo' movement these sorts of problems tend to get exacerbated among today's youth. But if someone has a genuine case of depression or the likes you can't just tell them "it could be worse" becuase that just adds to the problem.
