lyrics

Well it’s another day in paradise. I’m stuck at home in my underwear with no where to go and I
Turn on the tv to rot my brain to stop the pain of being useless to society
Here I am, another day goes by, I might as well say goodbye to success in this life
Sad as it may be to be me, I can’t help but smile in spite, of all of your useless degrees
I~ No I don’t care
No I won’t be bullied into your own paradigm of happiness
Who the hell are you to say what makes me smile
This is my life, you’ve got your own to do what you wanna do
So please kindly shove off

Yet another job has turned me down, I hear the sound of no rebound coming to save my ass
And the girl I love has turned away, I felt like I’ve been led astray. But don’t think I’m crying now
Here I am, another week goes by, I’ll kiss my chances goodbye. Chances of security.
Sad as it may be to be me, I can’t help but smile in spite, of all of your stability
I~ No I don’t care
No I won’t be bullied into your own paradigm of happiness
Who the hell are you to say what makes me smile
This is my life, you’ve got your own to do what you wanna do
So please kindly shove off

I’ve had another chat with my father about what it means to be a man, and how can I live like I do
Clearly I’ve no prospects of marriage and or happiness. Oh woe is he that mimics me
Here I am another year goes by, I might as well bid goodbye, to happiness in this life
Sad as it may be to be me, I can’t help but smile in spite, of all of your sympathy
I~ No I don’t care
No I won’t be bullied into your own paradigm of happiness
Who the hell are you to say what makes me smile
This is my life, you’ve got your own to do what you wanna do
So please kindly shove off
