I Just Can’t Be Happy Today - Live at Shepperton

[Intro: Dave Vanian]
This one's called I Just Can't Be Happy Today

I just can't be happy today
I just can't be happy today

The looks as you know
It’s not all a smile
There's no feeling fine
Without being fined
There's a price on your head
There's no point being sad when justice is red

I just can't be happy today
No, no, no, no, no, no way
I just can't be happy today

Illegal to dance
Forbidden to cry
You do what you're told
You never ask why
Ignore all those fools
They don't understand
We make our own rules

Just can't be happy today, yeah
I just can't be happy today, ah!

They've closed all the schools
They've burnt all the books
The power is in ruins
The priests hang on hooks
The TV's on ice
The telly's been banned
The army's in power
The devil commands!

[Instrumental Break]

Well, illegal to dance
Forbidden to cry
You do what you're told
You never ask why
Ignore all those fools
They don't understand
We make our own rules

Just can't be happy today
People, they've gone away
I just can't be happy today

Yeah, I just can't be happy
Just can't be happy
Just can't be happy today

Just can't be happy
Just can't be happy
Just can't be happy today

Hey!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa!
Oh, ho, whoa (da, da, do-oh)
Wow! Wow!
