Lyrics

Die Happy

So what is this so-so-society? Still drinking that Kool-Aid like it's free Still popping that poison blow blow blow Political you know how it goes Is this dystopia? Is this dystopia? Is this dystopia? Is this dystopia? Fame is the bait (And the switch is the look in your eye) What will you ask? (While we wait for the past to arrive) Fame is the bait (And the switch is your head in the sand) Time that we waste (While we wait for the future to land) Die happy In the summertime So happy I could die This city is thick with common thieves Still passing around the same disease Who's running this town and why are we? Still drinking that Kool-Aid like it's free In this dystopia In this dystopia In this dystopia In this dystopia Fame is the bait (And the switch is the look in your eye) What will you ask? (While we wait for the past to arrive) Fame is the bait (And the switch is your head in the sand) Time that we waste (While we wait for the future to land) Fame is the bait (And the switch is your desolate smile) If I need it (Though we shelter the thing for a while) Fame is the bait (And the switch is the touch of your hand) Time that we waste (While we wait for the future to land) Die happy In the summertime So happy I could die Die happy In the summertime So happy I could die Duh duh duh duh duh Die happy Duh duh duh duh duh Die happy Duh duh duh duh duh Die happy Duh duh duh duh duh Die happy Duh duh duh duh duh Die happy Duh duh duh duh duh Die happy Duh duh duh duh duh Die happy Duh duh duh duh
