Wake Up And Be Happy |
Why do we stay so long in this city she loves me in? |
Each day we take it on the chin and we’ve become has-beens |
Once young and bold, now we look old |
The luster fading from this daily passion play |
Hoping someday we’ll just wake up and be happy |
Hoping somehow we’ll just wake up and be sane |
We’ve got to wake up |
Why do we fight so hard in this city we love to hate? |
Each day we aim for a stalemate and we’ve become lightweights |
Once proud and tall now we look small and running short on good reasons for us |
to stay |
Maybe someday we’ll just wake up and be happy |
Maybe someday we’ll just wake up and be sane |
We’ve got to wake up |
Wake up in the town where everything is going down if you’re the type with |
passion for restaurants and shows and fashion |
We’re living in the center of the universe, it could be worse and far surpasses |
living out among the masses |
So we’ll never say so long to this city we glitter in |
Re-sharpen elbows, reset grin as we re-begin |
And make a toast to when we’ll wake up and be happy |
And take a drink to when we’ll wake up and be sane |
We’ve got to wake up |
Someday we’ll wake up |
We’re going to wake up |
Maybe we’ll wake up |
We’ll never wake up |
