[ Featuring Jon Shaban ]
I was a girl I'd step over the cracks
Look under the bed for anything at all that could attack
Or climb out of the cupboards when the lights went out
Now that I'm grown I know the world is out to get us
Staying inside, we wile away the hours and fill up our heads with the things we can't do anything about
Why's it so hard to be happy?
It's easier to say that the sky is gonna fall, when it all goes to hell, we'll say we called it
Why's it so hard to be happy?
When I was a boy I got my socks and shoes wet
By playing in puddles even though I knew that my parents would get angry, they always said I'd get a cold
Now that I'm an adult I tend to agree
It's best too keep dry, take my vitamin c, try to stay in control of all the things we can't do anything about
Why's it so hard to be happy?
It's easier to say that the sky is gonna fall, when it all goes to hell, we'll say we called it
Why's it so hard to be happy?
And if you ask me what's coming, I could feed you a line, I would speak on repeat till I believe that it's mine
The truth is nothing certain and would never survive if you let our fear to take over every piece of our lives
Why's it so hard to be happy?
It's easier to say that the sky is gonna fall, when it all goes to hell, we'll say we called it
Why's it so hard to be happy?
Why does it have to be hard to be happy?
Why's it so hard to be happy?
