Lyrics It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy - Passion Pit

It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy

Sorry I couldn’t be there, I was tied to a rocking chair
I was beat down to a pulp rocking back and forth somewhere
If you knew, if you saw, you’d decide it was the final straw
That my life was bound and tethered on a porch by the shore
But there is no, no, no, no, no easy way to tell them so, the things you know
And run, run, run, run, run when they say they think they know exactly so
It’s not right, it’s not right
Am I the only one who sees this fight?
What are we?
Who are they?
Who says those bastards don’t deserve to pay?
Well it’s the numbers, it’s the numbers, we don’t stand a chance
So long as they’re around, you’re just another song and dance
It’s not fair, it’s not fair
Still I’m the only one who seems to care
It’s funny being funny makes you feel like up and running
When your past lingers like rain clouds, casting shadows below
I could live with so many burdens, I’ll take all your hope and yearning
But there’s no way I don’t take me for their petty little woes
I used to glow, glow, glow, glow once I had a love to show, a love they know
They’re slow, slow, slow, slow so slow that they never know where I go
It’s not right, it’s not right
Am I the only one who sees this fight?
What are we?
Who are they?
Who says those bastards don’t deserve to pay?
Well it’s the numbers, it’s the numbers, we don’t stand a chance
So long as they’re around, you’re just another song and dance
It’s not fair, it’s not fair
Still I’m the only one who seems to care
I know that it’s only something
I’m just working with what I’ve been given
It’s not my fault, I’m happy
Don’t call me crazy, I’m happy
