Lyrics"Happily Mad"
Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.
A generation before they all had it made They’ve had it better than us and now I’m afraid When I think about the future I only feel sad And I think I’m becomin’ happily mad With so little control mixed with so much pain We keep on movin’ along to keep from goin’ insane As opportunity dwindles, I feel I’ve been had And I think I’m becomin’ happily mad I guess we just have to deal With the cards we’ve been dealt And learn how to smile, and say At least we’ve got our health Sometimes I get angry wanna make things change But it’s a catch-22 seems like there’s nothin’ to gain It won’t do any good to do somethin’ bad And I think I’m becomin’ happily mad The boomers took all the jobs, and they’ve had ‘em ever since Now they inherit their wealth, just like a prince It’s no one’s fault they’re not appreciative or glad And I think I’m becomin’ happily mad They can’t help it they were all born after the war But being in their shadow’s become such a bore They’re all resource hogs, it’s not a passing fad And I think I’m becomin’ happily mad I guess we just have to be patient With our unlucky fate Maybe it’s true that we’re slackers, but We have no right to hate They call us generation X and we’ve had a raw deal It’s like a bad dream but our unemployment is real While we grin and bear it, we still live with mom & dad And I think I’m becomin’ happily mad Copyright © ℗ 2014 by Scott Cooley.
