Happy

by

Sekhem Psikor Strecker

All you happy little people
And your happy little lives
Happy little husbands
And happy little wives
You're happy in your happiness
As happy as can be
I'm tired of being happy
I am now married to me

How can you be happy when there's sadness all around
How can you feel safe at the times of midnight-ed sound
What happened to your logic
What happened to you sneer
What happened to the happiness that comes but once a year

How can you start laughing in the face of false dis-ease
How can you accept it when it's not what you would please
You've lost your touch with reality
You've lost you frame of truth
You lost yourself in tumultuous happiness ressurected from your youth

All you happy little people
And your happy little lives
Happy little husbands
And happy little wives
You're happy in your happiness
As happy as can be
I'm tired of being happy
I am now married to me

Why am I not happy?
Coz you smile when I fall!
Why am I so snappy?
You don't seem to hear at all!
So I don't know why I waste my time; I've better things to do
Like not being so happy, and not being so happy with you!

How can you recover so quickly from your wounds
How can you be pleased with me when sanity has no room
Do you realise what you're doing
Do you know how much it hurts
Do you wonder why at night I cry and deep with death I flirt

All you happy little people
And your happy little lives
Happy little husbands
And happy little wives
You're happy in your happiness
As happy as can be
I'm tired of being happy
I am now married to me
