Happiness

Staring down a memory through an empty bottle
Run away the way your daddy used to do
Hit your sweetheart like your hero hit your mother

In the end it's carried on because of you

All we're looking for is happiness
Happiness and a place to be

Sunni children orphaned by a human bomber
Keep their fathers' wounds and fear and hatred, too
Quoting scripture while they kill their foreign brothers
Can't you see they're really just like me and you?

All they're looking for is happiness
Happiness and a place to be

Now we're left to face the world we have created
Trying to blame it on the men we never knew
If you want it any different for our children
As far as I can see, it's up to me and you

All we're looking for is happiness
Happiness and a place to be

All I'm looking for is happiness
Happiness and the place to be
