Lyrics
What is the secret to being happy?
You’re not gonna like the answer don’t know why you even ask me
I think you need to grab a seat on this train of thought
We’re gonna ride around in circles, nah it shouldn’t take too long
First things first, there is no after life
This train does not make a stop on the path to Christ
So you can laugh or cry, or rationalize it
But on this train were trained in using math and science
Now there is a detour, about 3 miles away
It’s a quiet little town called Denial’s OK
And I won’t deny that in a minor way
Religion does provide some comfort lets you feel nice and safe
Now be gone, behave, be on your way
The rest of us are restin up we’re sleeping on the train
I see a big day ahead of us, plenty stuff, to measure up,
The test to come is the hardest that you’ve ever done, don’t mess it up
Now I’d like to examine the American dream,
And where does it lead, when you rarely succeed
From a tobacco farmer who buried the seeds
To big tobacco executive nefariously
Accumulate wealth at all cost? Oooo
Do we hate or hail the mob boss? Ahhh
Do we lose ourselves with every job lost? Hmmm
Or have our pursuits of happiness just got crossed? Oh.
Happiness is laughing with a peace inside you
Your moods change as the chemicals in your mind move
And although Nature has our processes fine tuned,
Let me remind you of what drugs can provide you
Endorphins, serotonin, this is what and where were going
Naturally occurring in our brains but these drugs are very potent
You got it all figured out thanks, Where’s the potions?
Well... you might wanna wait a minute
Religion? That’s a false hope
Chase money? That’s a long road
Drugs do make you happy but they also, almost,
Leave you dead and even when they don’t
They lose effectiveness , leave you penniless, stressed and depressed
And when you finally get set to quit for important reasons
You pray to god you had the money to afford the treatment
Happiness
Reality… escape it or deny it
Being happy is our carrot stick… the way that we devised it
We need to make, a dream to chase, to keep the race, alive with
