Lyrics
Hey there Mr Happiness, what you seein’ there on your brain?
Do you reflect on your own loneliness?
It always seems like such a shame, always seems such a shame
It is always such a shame
Well there, Sir Mendacious-ness, how do you keep track of the lies?
Do you revel in your own craftiness?
As good faith slowly dies, so subtle in its own demise
The beauty melts away and wretchedness presides…
You claimed that you wanted this,
But now that you’ve got it, what are you gonna do?
In the end you’ll have to stand with..out the cloak of the God-finger,
It will all be detached from you
Please awaken, ancient consciousness
Spin that compass back towards true
We’re hollowed out without your righteousness, oh yes
A course correction is overdue, lest the morning we may rue
The beauty melts away… while the world burns up outside,
While the moralities collide
For it is such a shame, but who’s to blame for this wretched game?
If we only knew (if we only knew, only knew…)
Love eternal, in the heart of someone true
