Lyrics

Today replaces yesterday, who needs happiness
there are no promises to break
no expectations in the way, who needs happiness
of looking good and feeling great

Gales of laughter carried in the wind
softer voices find sympathetic strings
the night has stretched across to touch the dawn
better get up now, it’s time to go

You’re wearing feathers on your face, who needs happiness
and a long black dress of silk brocade
an army man once wore those boots, who needs happiness
they’re gonna dance in a parade

Spread your wings and fly among your friends
circle round until the evening ends
everyone’s crazy as the crows
better get up now, it’s time to go

Who needs happiness?
Not us
