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

I Don't Want to Be Happy

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
