why so gloomy
why so sad
it couldn't possibly be
that bad
brighten up
put a smile on your face
if you try hard enough
you'll be okay
it's not as horrible
as you think
just a knee to a neck
a body in the street
take a deep breath
and keep walking
pretend the corpse
isn't rotting
that buildings
aren't raided and burning
that a whole race of people
haven't been hurting
you just need to let it go
and stop those tears
"but isn't that exactly
what got us here?"
