I just want to shout, it’s just a waste of time,
it’s "impolitical", ’round here to
speak your mind. I’m tired of self appointed
sages,searching for clouds on the horizon, but
they cannot see the stars. sucking down on silver
spoons, they love to say how tough things are!

It’s time, we dared to question this philosophy
It’s funny, I don’t understand,
Why there’s no one smiling but me.

I just want to try, to get some joy from life,
it’s irresponsible you cry wolf every night. I’ve
seen far too many falling faces drawn to cynicism,
like moths are drawn into a flame, who’s gonna be
the next contestant in this self-affliction
game!

It’s time, we dared to question this philosophy
It’s funny, now I understand
Why there’s no one laughing but me.

Every day is a great unknown, but we have been
here before. we’ll slip away, while you’re
deciding what happiness means to me.

So don’t ask me to share this weeks catastrophe.
If the party’s really over, why is no one leaving
but me? 

Stewing in this altered state, you’re killing
time they’re contemplating suicide. is it
possible, they love you more than life? we’ll
keep searching for that endless summer. trade in
the blues harp for a chance to belly up right to
the bar. once in a while I’d like to look around
and see how good things are!

It’s time, we dared to question this society
Everyone was laughing at me,
Now there’s no one laughing, but me.
It’s time, we shared this simpletons philosophy
Has everybody missed the punchline but me? 
-(cause there’s no one smiling with me)
