lyrics

Say you’re happy but I’m not sure I’m believing
Phase out, ennui
You’re bleeding anything to fall into that normal biography
Sacrifice your life, your teenage dream of autonomy

Or be one of those people who drive too slow
You break less rules but you break more bones
You’re drones remote controlled by a suit in a tie
Live, work, breed, build up credit and die

You’ve got a car, dog, house, wife, social capital city for life
Are you happy? Tell me are you happy?
Wide-screen partner, tell me how you waste your time
Are you happy? Tell me are you happy?
I’d rather live my life in debt than live one I regret
So tell me are you happy now?

Love yourself but you’re not sure that you’re worth it
Worship yourself just for something worth worship
It’s easy to make a drudge out of a beautiful ride
You’re alright being alright if it’s alright being fine

Cos you pride yourself on being one of those men
Who pride themselves on the money they spend
Your friends became acquaintances a long time ago
Proud to be alive and live a life that’s so so-so

Are you fucking happy with your life?
