Happiness Not Included

Just because it's not what we want it to be England was built on sorrow and pain Slavery and ill-gotten gain We gotta look around and recognize Who we are now, how far we've come Recognize those who deserve it And live with those who don't So wash your hands and sing happy birthday Hand gel won't sanitize your sins So much we enjoy are built on broken backs We can't turn away and paper over the cracks Before you get deluded Read the small print of life Happiness not included Happiness not included No one's gonna save us, I've come to set us free When they're piling up their bodies and they're pointing at me And you told me last night that I didn't have to fear That if that is the case, just what the fuck we're doing here Staring at the dark, taking stock of our lives Troopers stealing control, even sharpening our knives Getting up and ready when it all comes down Get ready to duck so hit the ground Look around now Look around now Look around now Look around now Everything and it's seen as offensive That's why we're always on the defensive Our social media makes us slaves, like Children we have to be told to behave We only see in black and white Retching up the drama for the thrill of the fight And we kill, kill, kill in the rush of the game Shooting all the soldiers again and again Before you get deluded Read the small print of life (look around now) Happiness not included (look around now) Happiness not included (look around now) Times are moved in shifting sands The future's in another lunatic's hands It's turning on my TV again They're watching all the people in pain News is like crack cocaine Everybody getting high again and again I don't wanna know about the politician talks I don't even know just how the magic works Look around now Look around now Look around now Look around now So put your grief in a tweet with the crying emoji And so many words with nothing to say And don't look at me you Hollywood whores When you're back there sweeping the restaurant floors Before you get deluded Read the small print of life Happiness not included Happiness not included Before you get deluded Read the small print of life Happiness not included Happiness not included Look around --- Happiness Not Included - Soft Cell
