Barenaked Ladies - The New Sad lyrics

[Barenaked Ladies - The New Sad lyrics]

Everybody knows that happy is the new sad
So I am gonna go and imitate my old dad
And never crack a smile again

Everybody knows that as we all get older
The will is first to go
And so upon my shoulder
The bluebird shall not sing again

Everybody knows that as our hair gets greyer
We strike a bended pose and
Say a little prayer
To never feel this way again

Everybody knows it's never getting better
Everything must go and you will
Have to let her and never see her face again

Everybody's youth is only what they make it
Longer in the tooth
So why do people fake it?
We'll never get it back again

I know it hurts no one wants to die
Goodbye goodbye

Goodbye goodbye
