The Amber Bugs - Happy Lyrics

No one ever wrote a great song when they were happy
Relaxed, sober and complete
So I stay angry
And tense
And f*cked up
F*cked up and lonely

I wish you pain and I wish you suffering
Coz you're my best friend
And I want you interesting
But when we zoom right out and ask questions about meaning
There's very little doubt that it don't mean a thing

We ride a little spinning marble
Around a single point of light
A flicker in eternity
A single frame in a movie
A glitch barely a memory
A Spot, a Spec, A Scratch
Basically Nothing

When the leader speaks he wants you
To see everything his way
Death to nuance says the hypocrite
Believe everything I say

And when he f*cks things up in view
For everyone to see
Blame the Poor
Blame the Immigrants
Blame anyone
Blame anyone but me
But me and my cronies

And I wish you pain
And I wish you suffering
Coz you're not our friend
You just pretend to be

Now I'm screaming out for answers
Coz I need them
But coming out your mouth
Is just mad contradictions

I've been searching round this city
For a simple proof of life
But all I'm seeing is machines
Executing routines
Not scared of mediocrity
Giving up just to latch
Onto being HAPPY

I don't think Johnny shot a man in Reno
I'm don't think Jimmy ever kissed the sky
But when we sing it, when we sing it
I hope that we know

It's just a lie LIE, lie LIE lie LIE
Lie la Lie

When Zimmerman pretends the answers blowin' in the wind
Why don't he just admit that he don't know?
I've walked a hundred roads, watched the mountains erode
And felt pissed when Dave Jones said we can be heroes
It sounded so delicious, but was so god damn unambitious
To say that it was just for one day
So let's ditch our capes and masks
Use our real names, bare our hearts
And be heroes Every Single Day

No one ever wrote a great song when they were Happy
Relaxed, Sober and Complete.
