Happy Now?
from We Made Too Many Bombs! by Being Beta
about
This song has about four messages that are all confused with each other. Which is kind of the metaphor in itself. It's about not worrying what everyone expects of you and just doing what makes you happy - simple right?
lyrics
Am I happy now that i can work
this simple dead end job
and I'll enjoy it while it lasts
Or my time will go too fast
No longer will I try to impress
Jealous friends who always try to
Measure themselves to me
With meaningless degrees
[Chorus]
I don't wanna reach my potential
I'll wind up claiming I'm special
I'll end up in denial
Realize I've lost my smile
If Daddy gives up on his knees
You'll Inherit this families legacy
And there'll be no time to smile and laugh (ha ha ha)
Gaining fathers love's been tough (Too Tough)
I know we had different goals back then
You'll treat me as a rival, friend
Do you think you did better than I?
Because you're living this fucked up lie
[Chorus]
Stop worrying, stop buying
Stop worrying, start trying
Stop worrying, stop buying
The bullshit that they say
stop worrying, start trying
to do things your own way
this simple dead end job
and I'll enjoy it while it lasts
Or my time will go too fast
No longer will I try to impress
Jealous friends who always try to
Measure themselves to me
With meaningless degrees
[Chorus]
I don't wanna reach my potential
I'll wind up claiming I'm special
I'll end up in denial
Realize I've lost my smile
If Daddy gives up on his knees
You'll Inherit this families legacy
And there'll be no time to smile and laugh (ha ha ha)
Gaining fathers love's been tough (Too Tough)
I know we had different goals back then
You'll treat me as a rival, friend
Do you think you did better than I?
Because you're living this fucked up lie
[Chorus]
Stop worrying, stop buying
Stop worrying, start trying
Stop worrying, stop buying
The bullshit that they say
stop worrying, start trying
to do things your own way
