Said the wise man to the beggar
Starve, or learn how to fish
Said the genie to the little boy
Grant your own damn wish
Grant your own damn wish
Said the lady behind the counter
Fill out all these forms
Said the thunder to the farmer
Your rain’s gonna come from storms
Yes, the rain’s gonna come from storms
Ain’t nothin’ gonna be easy
You take the good with the bad
Enjoy as much as you can
Rather be happy than be sad
I’d rather be happy than be sad
Said the preacher to the skeptic
Thinkin’ just ain’t enough
The world, it’s gonna end someday
In one big smoking puff
In one big flaming puff
Some folks like to dream about
Eternal life after death
You can wait or you can work
Just don’t hold your breath
No, please don’t hold your breath
Ain’t nothin’ gonna be easy
You take the good with the bad
Enjoy as much as you can
Rather be happy than be sad
I’d rather be happy than be sad
Kinda had a tune in my head when I wrote this in 15 minutes. Lost it now.
