lyrics

Reasons to be happy – Clark Gormley

Chorus:
Although the wealthy rule the country.
Legislators on the take.
Even the pretense of fair play has gone out the window.
Still the sun comes up each day.

Verse:
Under universal suffrage
citizens still have their say.
Even though nobody takes any notice
it’s consoling that we follow due process.

Chorus:
Although minorities are hounded.
Human rights erode away.
Even non-violent activists are being persecuted.
Still the sun comes up each day.

Verse:
Incarcerated for your ideals
the commissioner for fair play
kicks your arse while he has you in a headlock.
It’s the moment to turn the other buttock.

Chorus:
Although financial bodies buckle.
Banks collapse and bankers bail.
Every indicator points towards a depression.
Still the sun comes up each day.

Verse:
Scamming shonky salesmen swindle.
Shifty used car dealers steal.
In the bullshit where you have been done over
look around you might find a four-leafed clover.

Chorus:
Although the world’s awash in turmoil
banks collapse and levees break
every indicator points relentlessly downward
still the sun comes up each day
