Lyrics

Enjoy each song with its forced snappiness
Enjoy your mood with its artificial happiness
Day in, day out, life is filled with such crapiness
Take your pills for that artificial happiness

It’s raining again
Coming down like torrent
Kids jumping in puddles
Behaviour I find quite abhorrent

The sun breaks though
Trying to melt the darkness away
Me being me
I preferred the rain

Enjoy each song with its forced snappiness
Enjoy your mood with its artificial happiness
Day in, day out, life is filled with such crapiness
Take your pills for that artificial happiness

Another nightmare
Why can’t I wake from my dreams
Am I still sleeping
Is anything as it seems

Splitting the teabag
Spilling the tea
Dropping toast butter-side-down
Why does this happen to me

Enjoy each song with its forced snappiness
Enjoy your mood with its artificial happiness
Day in, day out, life is filled with such crapiness
Take your pills for that artificial happiness

Happiness
Happiness
Happiness
Sad

Happiness
Happiness
Happiness
Sad

Happiness
Happiness
Happiness
Sad

Happiness
Happiness
Happiness

Enjoy each song with its forced snappiness
Enjoy your mood with its artificial happiness
Day in, day out, life is filled with such crapiness
Take your pills for that artificial happiness

Enjoy each song with its forced snappiness
Enjoy your mood with its artificial happiness
Day in, day out, life is filled with such crapiness
Take your pills for that artificial happiness
