The new emo is joy. Didn't you know?

lyrics

Happy Is The New Down
Words and Music by Dave Howard
©2015 Upaya Music (SESAC)

Midnight on the boulevard
Homeless people livin' hard
Hustler playin' the card that he's been dealt

Church bells ring at dawn
Progress marches on
Winter will soon be gone and the ice will melt

Blades of grass break through concrete
Bitter tears begin to taste sweet
I feel empty and yet so complete

Happy is the new Down

Gambler with the ace of spades
Suicide with a razor blade
A rich man has got it made and I don't mind

A civil war that never ends
A horse thief makes amends
Search on the net for a long lost friend

Happy is the new Down

And I just can't be seen in black
And I just can't make it back

Happy is the new Down
