Lyrics Happy to Be Here - The Hotknives

Happy to Be Here

When someone told me that you’re better off dead
Thanks for the 'heads up'.
but it’s all in your head
You have to keep on working keep the body alive
You need the weekend, to let the soul survive
They try all they can just to bring you down
And they say to give up in this one horse town
Who are we to give in, there’s no doubts allowed, who are we, who are we
So raise your hands give a good cheer
Like me you’re happy to be here
So raise your hands give a good cheer
Like me you’re happy to be here
When someone told me that the harder they fall
It turned a switch on, put a light on the wall
The sound of broken bottles under boots on the floor
It made me step back, it made me crave for more
The message that comes from the old school ones
Is to be someone, not be a someone
And we’re making the most of our kindly host
Who are we, who are we
So raise your hands give a good cheer
Like me you’re happy to be here
So raise your hands give a good cheer
Like me you’re happy to be here
We have to queue up to get ink on our hand
And to explain it, they wouldn’t understand
Your ears are loosing treble and your eyes oh they stream
Is it a nightmare, it’s a euphoric dream
To get what we want, when we say what we want
Needs a good clear choice, but a clearer voice
When we say what we want, do we mean somewhere?
Such as here, such as here
So raise your hands give a good cheer
Like me you’re happy to be here
So raise your hands give a good cheer
Like me you’re happy to be here
