Se vivía mejor antes o ahora (crisis)

I think today life is more stressful than in the past because today we have many worries in our minds due to the economic crisis. In Spain, many people do not have a stable job, and the opportunities to get a good one are very difficult. I think this is the main cause of the stress of people nowadays. In the past, most families had many members working, and their lives were easier (they could buy houses, a car, etc.), and that's the reason we lived our lives without stress and worries.

SHUT UP

There you go 
You're always so right 
It's all a big show 
It's all about you 

You think you know 
What everyone needs 
You always take time 
To criticize me 

It seems like everyday 
I make mistakes 
I just can't get it right 
It's like I'm the one 
You love to hate 
But not today 

So shut up, shut up, shut up 
Don't wanna hear it 
Get out, get out, get out 
Get out of my way 
Step up, step up, step up 
You'll never stop me 
Nothing you say today 
Is gonna bring me down 

There you go 
You never ask why 
It's all a big lie 
Whatever you do 

You think you're special 
But I know and I know and I know
and we know 
That you're not 

You're always there to point out my mistakes 
And shove them in my face 
It's like I'm the one 
You love
