What Price Happiness? - Youth Brigade

What price happiness, a price you can’t afford

Still we purue this feeling as though it were the greatest reward they say that

love’s the only way to find true happiness

So why do we keep fighting for a life that makes no sense

How did the system of greed begin

In pursuit of happiness to fill a need within

They say there’s nothing in this world that you can’t buy

Yet the price of happiness is forever too high

What price, what price happiness?

What does this word happiness signify to you

Just a fleeting feeling well that’s nothing new

Our lives are short death is certain

Don’t think about that final curtain

You’re happy for so short a time

Happiness treads a very fine line

What price, what price happiness?

For everyone that is happy there are a million that are sad

Poor, starving, fighting, dying for the elusive life we have!
