Quick kid quips, so harsh and cynical
Touches stricken cold and clinical
What a transformation to behold
But I don't like this new, I want the old
It's not the words that make it final
You've said such things before to rival them
But it's how you say them now that's changed
Cold but sympathetic all the same
You'd like to convince me that I'll be better off
So you go on and I'll be happier
I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You'll be gone and I'll be happier
Shoot me with your rubber bullets
Your finger's on the trigger, pull it
I know you want the suffering to end
And so, it is forgivable, my friend
It's all to convince me that I'll be better off
So you go on and I'll be happier
You go on and I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You'll be gone and I'll be happier
Say what you mean, what you mean
Is you'll be happier without me
Without me
Without me
Oh
Cuz you want to convince me that I'll be better off
So you go on and I'll be happier
I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You'll be gone and I'll be gone
You go on and I'll be happier
You go on and I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You go on and I'll go on
And I'll be happier
You go on and I'll be happier
You go on and I'll be happier
You go on and I'll be happier
