Uh, Humanity 

And its search for Happiness


But why do we search for it

Knowing the coffin for the rich and the port is different

But those who go in there are all the same?


We either die looking for it

Or live like the rich

With a distorted version

Of what it is to be happy


Uh, Humanity

And its search for happiness


And we do what we do

For the money that will buy our happy days

We learned somewhere that owning stuff and people

Will bring us happiness


From who did we learn this from?

From the rich? 

The same rich who have not the same reality?


We could just the same take the advice of criminals

but I guess we do that already


Who else feeds this senseless narrative

Other than the owners of stuff and people?
