As far as I'm concerned,
We've all been rooked.
All this mumbo jumbo
About how happy we will be
When we are older is
Total *******.

Happiness is life's biggest sham.
We spend all our lives searching
And when we finally find a tiny bit
It's ruined and the search starts over;
I am so tired of running myself down.

I'm throwing in the towel.
I'm giving up on looking for "happiness"
Because it's like looking for the end of a rainbow,
Which we all know is just a circle in the sky
I refuse to play this game...

But,
If happiness comes to me
Perhaps it will be sweeter
Than if I found it myself...
And so I wait.
