the michael character - celebrate lyrics

you have a good day, it’s fine
but people are starving somewhere
so you spend all your time worried, disappointed, unsatisfied
you fall into line, say
“we won’t smile until we all smile together!”
this is you in your prime:
you won’t let anybody by happy ’till the millennium arrives

but the state’s still here
the prisons are full
the drone strikes continue
there’s bullies in our schools
systemic racism poisons our institutions
and out globalized markets ensure widespread financial ruin
but sometimes
you’ve just go to know when to celebrate

so every four years we act like we all give a sh+t
vapid presidential politics for no one’s benefit
parroting a blog post title
parody of a republic ideal
vision so narrow we can barely see
the forest for the trees
humanity on its knees
fake radical ideologies
self+serving social capital thieves
so i guess the thing we gotta ask ourselves, though it might be tough is
how can one live a productive life in the face of a world that sucks so much?
we could take the critics’ route

count all our dreams yet unfulfilled
convert all our dissatisfaction into social dollar bills, or
we could walk organization
tackle issues in our midst
and spend our many waking nights by all that’s horrible transfixed
or maybe we should just give up

lay out all our hopes of a world more just a peaceful on that slippery+est of slopes:
the nihilistic resignations faithless sweet release
just waiting ’round for entropy to gnash us with its t++th, but me
i take a different route that mixes all the others up
critique the world you see around you
organize for change and
love
but don’t forget to have perspective
take a step back here and there
’cause only burnout waits for those who can’t escape their own despair
’cause hey
