I Don't Want to Be Happy - James Chance, The Contortions

some usual day

everything seems okay

lights in the …

perfect for work

your headphones are

like a shield to the silence

and what would be

if you’re taking a look

oohhooo

another chance to change is gone

there will be new ones we first to have to find them

this is the day

we don’t look away

from the wings of humanity today

'cause this life life life life is to short to waste

a chance

every evening you watching TV

there’s another misery

only pictures and numbers you see

but you don’t mind

like everyday

close your eyes and go to bed

and what would be

if you’re taking a look

oohhooo

another chance to change is gone

there will be new ones we first to have to find them

this is the day

we don’t look away

from the wings of humanity today

'cause this life life life life is to short to waste

a chance

that is just a song

changes can only start in your mind

ooohhooo

another chance to change is gone

there will be new ones we first to have to find them

this is the day

we don’t look away

from the wings of humanity today

'cause this life life life life is to short to waste a chance

ooohhoooo

another chance to change is gone

there will be new ones we first to have to find them

this is the day

we don’t look away

from the wings of humanity today

'cause this life life life life is to short to waste a chance
