I Just Can't Be Happy Today - Live at Shepperton

[Intro: Dave Vanian]

This one's called I Just Can't Be Happy Today

I just can't be happy today

I just can't be happy today

The looks as you know

It’s not all a smile

There's no feeling fine

Without being fined

There's a price on your head

There's no point being sad when justice is red

I just can't be happy today

No, no, no, no, no, no way

I just can't be happy today

Illegal to dance

Forbidden to cry

You do what you're told

You never ask why

Ignore all those fools

They don't understand

We make our own rules

Just can't be happy today, yeah

I just can't be happy today, ah!

They've closed all the schools

They've burnt all the books

The power is in ruins

The priests hang on hooks

The TV's on ice

The telly's been banned

The army's in power

The devil commands!

[Instrumental Break]

Well, illegal to dance

Forbidden to cry

You do what you're told

You never ask why

Ignore all those fools

They don't understand

We make our own rules

Just can't be happy today

People, they've gone away

I just can't be happy today

Yeah, I just can't be happy

Just can't be happy

Just can't be happy today

Just can't be happy

Just can't be happy

Just can't be happy today

Hey!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Whoa!

Oh, ho, whoa (da, da, do-oh)

Wow! Wow!
