Everything's better
with smiles and dreams
hopes and feelings
        Pleasant things
but if something moans
sobs
or cries
we send it to a place where it can die
Everything's better
all sealed up and happy
closed off to the world
acting so sappy
but if something bleeds
dies
or speaks
we close up those holes and plug up those leaks
Everything's better
quiet and clean
washed up with soap until it gleams
but if something is *****
old
or worn
we shake our heads in an effort to scorn
Everything's better soft and warm
bundled up tight, yes that's the norm
but if something is tough
cold
or hard
we throw it away, our hearts we do guard
Everything's better pretend and fake
putting on smiles, "Life's a piece of cake!"
but if something is real
true
or sad
we pretend it's not there
and it makes me so mad
