And I think that I could get it if I didn’t always
Panic every time I’m unhappy like
I’m owed some life
Where I’m always, like, happy
Which is stupid ‘cause I wouldn’t even want it if I got it
Wait, oh god, my dad was right
[Chorus]
So if you know or ever knew how to be happy
On a scale from one to two now, are you happy?
You’re everything you hated, are you happy?
Hey, look Ma, I made it, are you happy?
