Passion Pit - It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy текст песни

Sorry I couldn't be there, I was tied to a rocking chair
I was beat down to a pulp, rocking back and forth somewhere
If you knew, if you saw, you'd have said it was the final straw
There my life was bound and tethered on a porch by the shore

But there's no, no, no, no, no
Easy way to tell one so
The things you know
And run, run, run, run, run, run
When they say they think they know exactly so

It's not right, it's not right
How'm I the only one who sees a fight?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay?
"Well it's the numbers, it's the numbers;
We don't stand a chance
So long as they're around,
You're just another song and dance"
It's not fair (it's not fair)
It's not fair (it's not fair)
Still I'm the only one who seems to care

It's funny being funny,
Makes you feel like up and running
When your past lingers like rain clouds casting shadows below
I could live with so many burdens
I'd take all your hope and yearning
But there's no way I'll let'em take me for their petty little woes

Oh, I used to glow, glow, glow, glow, glow
Once I had a love to show
A love they'd know
But they're slow, slow, slow, slow, slow
So slow that they'd never know where I'd go!

It's not right, it's not right
How'm I the only one who sees a fight?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay?
"Well it's the numbers, it's the numbers;
We don't stand a chance
So long as they're around,
You're just another song and dance"
It's not fair (it's not fair)
It's not fair (it's not fair)
Still I'm the only one who seems to care

I know that it's always something
I'm just working with what I've been given
It's not my fault, I'm happy
Don't call me crazy, I'm happy!

It's not right, it's not right
How'm I the only one who sees a fight?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay?
"Well it's the numbers, it's the numbers;
We don't stand a chance
So long as they're around,
You're just another song and dance"
It's not fair (it's not fair)
It's not fair (it's not fair)
Still I'm the only one who seems to care
