Happiness

You know the pressure is
building up on me.
The news has got me convinced
that everyone is guilty.
Outside the rain is dripping,
"oh so nice?"
But wouldn't go out,
couldn't just smile,
I couldn't be me.
Confusion's got
the better part of me.
And all you gotta do is pretend
that we are working,
on a better world
that's lost all of its turning.
It's like we never do a thing.
Does that give you happiness?
Oh happiness!
Oh happiness is
all I need from you.
Yeah happiness is
all I need from you.
And everybody seems to be
feeling the same way I do.
What's new in the tabloids?
"The sky is falling on you!"
Maybe we are all crazy,
maybe we are just lazy.
In time you'll realize, yeah
you just might.
Maybe the world
keeps turning on
its other side.
And all we gotta do is pretend
that we are walking,
around a world where a sun's
still shining.
The weather never does a thing,
but it gives you happiness!
Oh happiness,
yeah happiness
is all I need from you,
yeah happiness
is hard for me and you
