lyrics

I suck at being happy

Je pense que je suis heureuse, donc je le suis! ha ha ha

I woke up this morning
it's a sunny day,
comfy in my bed
with food on the way.
Why can't I think of that?

On my radio sad news are to be heard
while outside my window sings a chirpy bird.
Why do I feel so crabby?
I suck at being happy!

I have a job, a dog and a family
a house by the lake
and we're healthy.
Why do I forget about that?

Instead I think of something really nasty,
Always a shitty thing that makes me angry!
Why do I think about that?

And here I am, singing about... what?
Poor little bourgeois,
With nothing else to look at,
dumb dilemma!

I can't tell you for sure whether it's good or bad
To feel guilty for all the luck that I've had
Do you get the picture?
And all the while I indulge here, and wonder,
how many people cry out in hunger?
Did you get their picture?

So should I get a hold on my thought?
Hold it for good really,
I must tell my little pilot:
You suck at being happy

I suck at being happy.
I should do something,
Really.
I suck at being happy,
I should... do... something... reallyyyyyyy.... yea.
