“This fucking song is all personality”
“Dude, that's the shit”
Well, we've all heard about how the guys in the band
Weren't the popular kids in school
Now you hate your parents 'cause the way you turned out
But in the end, the blame's on you
And we all sympathize with your torn apart heart
And your really artistic worldly views
It sells records when you're sad these days
It's super cool to be mad these days
I think rock 'n' roll is really funny when it's serious
Don't hate us 'cause we're happy
Don't hate us 'cause we're beautiful
Don't hate us if we make you smile
Or if we go the extra mile
To make someone feel better on a really shitty day
And if you're hearing what I'm saying
Then I want you to say I'm gay, say I'm gay, whoo
(I'm gay, I'm gay)
Let's start a movement, let's start it right now
And if you don't know where to start
I can show you, I'm your new team captain
Put your left hand over your heart and repeat after me
"It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual"
"It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual"
"Chris, Gary", "Yeah, buddy?", "You guys wanna join in?"
“Sure”, "Oh, man, sorry dude"
"It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual"
"It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual"
"Very nice, very nice"
Don't hate us 'cause we're happy
Don't hate us 'cause you're miserable
Don't hate us if we make you smile
Or if we go the extra mile
To make someone feel better on a really shitty day
And if you're hearing what I'm saying
Then I want you to say I'm gay, say I'm gay, whoo
(I'm gay, I'm gay)
That's right ladies and gentlemen
Pick up the phone 'cause Bowling For Soup is on the line
And you don't have to be sad anymore
You don't have to be mad anymore
We can all join hands
And do 'Ring Around The Freaking Rosie'
In fact, can we get some la la's up in here please?
It sells records when your sad these days
It's super cool to be mad these days
I think rock 'n' roll is really funny when it's serious
(Yo, where my la la's at?)
La la la
La la la
La la la
