I just want to shout, its just a waste of time, its impolitical, round here to speak your mind. Im tired of self appointed sages,searching for clouds on the horizon, but they cannot see the stars. sucking down on silver spoons, they love to say how tough things are!
Its time, we dared to question this philosophy
Its funny, I dont understand,
Why theres no one smiling but me.
I just want to try, to get some joy from life, its irresponsible you cry wolf every night. Ive seen far too many falling faces drawn to cynicism, like moths are drawn into a flame, whos gonna be the next contestant in this self-affliction game!
Its time, we dared to question this philosophy
Its funny, now I understand
Why theres no one laughing but me.
Every day is a great unknown, but we have been here before. well slip away, while youre deciding what happiness means to me.
So dont ask me to share this weeks catastrophe.
If the partys really over, why is no one leaving but me?
Stewing in this altered state, youre killing time theyre contemplating suicide. is it possible, they love you more than life? well keep searching for that endless summer. trade in the blues harp for a chance to belly up right to the bar. once in a while Id like to look around and see how good things are!
Its time, we dared to question this society
Everyone was laughing at me,
Now theres no one laughing, but me.
Its time, we shared this simpletons philosophy
Has everybody missed the punchline but me?
-(cause theres no one smiling with me)
