Uplifting, age-appropriate themes of resilience
These lyrics, from Modest Mouse's 'Float On,' convey an optimistic, resilient message about dealing with life's setbacks — minor accidents, being scammed, losing a job — with a positive attitude. There is no explicit language, sexual content, violence, or drug references. The mention of a scam ('fake Jamaican took every last dime') is presented as a life lesson rather than anything glorified or disturbing. The overall tone is uplifting and encouraging, making it suitable for all ages.

I backed my car into a cop car the other day Well, he just drove off, sometimes life's ok I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh, what did I say? Well, you just laughed it off, it was all ok And we'll all float on, ok And we'll all float on, ok And we'll all float on, ok And we'll all float on anyway, well A fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam It was worth it just to learn from sleight-of-hand Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands Good news will work it's way to all them plans We both got fired on exactly the same day Well, we'll float on, good news is on the way And we'll all float on, ok And we'll all float on, ok And we'll all float on, ok And we'll all float on, alright Already, we'll all float on Now don't you worry, we'll all float on Alright, already, we'll all float on Alright, don't worry, we'll all float on Alright, already and we'll all float on Alright, already, we'll all float on Alright, don't worry, even if things end up a bit too heavy We'll all float on, alright Already we'll all float on Alright, already we'll all float on Ok, don't worry, we'll all float on Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on Alright, already we'll all float on Alright, no, don't you worry, we'll all float on Alright, all float on
