PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS (in order to kill it)
You can hate me now for all I've got
You can sit on my seat
And tell everyone I'm this foolish guy
Who pretends to be ill.
Then you watch me now with your jealous eyes.
I can feel it on my back.
But i'm laying low just to write my songs
Before my sadness goes.
O Mum I'm so terrified
I can't find my way to be fine
I've got everything that I ever wanted
But I'm heading for disaster.
Look at my smile when you're crying.
Happiness just makes me sad.
All the fortune that I'm sure you've got.
All your glitters and gold.
When you pay medicine for your depressed wife
Are you feeling so pround ?
Don't look back, go ahead, mind the gap, never ask
How your children must feel ?
Inviting crackhead friends in your lovely house
To drink your oldest wine.
O Mama I agonise
Deep in my soul
Whatever people say that I am, I'm probably not
'cause I'm honest with myself.
Look at my smile when you're crying.
Happiness just makes me sad.
And you suffer in vain
Love is a pain
If I let happiness come
