I Get No Joy

  • Military march
    In and out my head
    Everything I did
    Everything I said
    Take you to the arch
    For your happiness
    Or spend it like a lark
    Singing for nothing

    I get no joy
    I get no joy
    All the words my mother said
    Can't seem to get them out my head
    Everything becomes everything
    You live, you learn, you love, you're dead
    I get no joy

    Together and apart
    Do it all again
    Right back to the start
    Straight up to the end
    I'm such a fool
    Got everything and you
    Yet my heart is so blue
    I'm singing for nothing

    I get no joy
    I get no joy
    All the words my mother said
    Can't seem to get them out my head
    Everything becomes everything
    You live, you learn, you love, you're dead
    I get no joy

    I swear that I don't pay attention
    If I did, would intervention come to me in a dream?
    Or is that just what the directors and the pills and
    Other deflectors would have you believe?
    Psychotic, hypnotic, erotic; which box is your thing?
    Fact how many days a week do you feel
    Electric, connected, unexpectedly affected?
    What do you need?
    What do you need?

    I get no joy
    I get no joy
    All the words my mother said
    Can't seem to get them out my head
    Everything becomes everything
    You live, you learn, you love, you're dead
    I get no joy

    I know the sun will shine
    Another day, another time
    I know the sun will shine
    Another day, another time
    I know the sun will shine
    I know the sun will shine
    Electric, connected, unexpectedly affected
    What do you need?
    What do you need?

    I get no joy
    I get no joy
    All the words my mother said
    Can't seem to get them out my head
    Everything becomes everything
    You live, you learn, you love, you're dead
    I get no joy
    I get no joy
