The New Sad

Everybody knows

That happy is the new sad

So I am gonna go

And imitate my old dad

And never crack a smile againEverybody knows

That as we all get older

The will is first to go

And so upon my shoulder

The bluebird shall not sing againEverybody knows

That as our hair gets grayer

We strike a bended pose

And say a little prayer

To never feel this way againEverybody knows

It's never getting better

Everything must go

And you will have to let her

And never see her face againEverybody's youth

Is only what they make it

We're longer in the tooth

So why do people fake it?

We'll never get it back againI know it hurts

No one wants to die

Goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye
