lyrics

Happy

When I was a boy
I would look up to the sky
And I’d pray to a god I’d never seen
Hoping he would hear me cry

Nothing came of it
Then I read some philosophy
Realized all that tribal superstition was shit
And the one to dry my tears was me

No reason to be cross
No reason at all
It’s just a little loss of faith
There’s no reason why I can’t be happy

We are older now
And all that we do is fuck
Fuck away the loneliness
And play lotteries for luck

There’s a way surely
To hold onto our humanity
Yes, I’m giving to charity
But, the emptiness won’t cease

No reason to be cross
No reason at all
It’s just a little lack of faith
There’s no reason why I can’t be happy
