finn m-k – where are the happy songs? lyrics

where are the happy songs? lyrics
[verse 1]
i worry about my generation because we always joke that
everything is getting worse and we’re always broke
when the people who have money are reluctant to change
it’s not a joke you laugh at but you feel it the same
you educated children to spit venom and then you
weaponized with hatred into us vs. them
and now my generation’s both the victim and cop
we’ll teach it to our kids then get surprised when they say:

[chorus]
“where are the happy songs”?

[verse 2]
we inherited a planet where your debt is our rack
you smoked the things you wanted but it’s our lungs are black
the systems we rely on are all products of pain
they say suicide’s a tragedy but life is the same
there’s a kind of pressure from being allowed to:
shout into a megaphone and speak to a crowd
my songs should bring hope and hope join our hands
but i don’t have an answer for the crowd who demands

[chorus]
“where are the happy songs”?
(speech! speech! speech!)
no, no, no no no
you’ll be happier if someone else talked
(speech! speech! speech! speech! speech! speech! speech! speech! speech!)
please!

[bridge]
i am nearing 30 and i’m doing worse than my parents
at 20 who i can’t reimburse
i’d like to find love, i’d love to find her
but i don’t wanna bring a child into this world!

growing up and learning just how everything works
then understanding how as just an average person
she can’t make a difference in a meaningful way
it’s the crippling reality what is there to say?

but where are the happy songs?
