Description
if i could sing happy songs i'd be happier, i think. but this song is so sad... and yet, it is one of my favorites. paradox? no, it's just that i enjoy torturing myself.
Lyrics
i would like just once to sing about happy things it's this life--i don't trust it, and what it brings well i hate fun, that should be obvious by now but i truly believe that in the end we'll work our differences out and i think that everyone is afraid of something and that one thing seems so big and frightening we can't live always second guessing our actions so i have to believe that in the end it'll all work out i feel betrayed by past generations' failures it always seemed to me that they never cared for us but i wonder what the fuck i think i'm doing that makes me think that i am so useful and so profound i would like to sing a few happy songs but if i ignored our every pain and struggle does it demean everything in life we've won? and i truly believe that in the end it'll all work out
