Happy Ever After

Shine It On


Motivated

We are divided when we stand
But united as we fall
I'm getting sick sitting down on this crucifix
It ain't heavenly at all

I don't wanna play it safe
Before it blows up in my face
Now you're really gonna get my back up honey
Cos you're entering my space

And I don't need you 
More than you need me

I'm gonna keep it motivated
It ain't like I never waited
When the feeling gets frustrated
I'm gonna keep it motivated
Motivated

I'm Superficial guy
With pins and needles in my eyes
You'd best be minding your beeswax honey
Cos you're stepping out of line

So while you're taking out the trash
At the risk of being brash
Getting rid of the bling and the mud you sling 
Is doing nothing for the cash

Like taking one step forward
And two steps back

I'm gonna keep it motivated
It ain't like I never waited
But when the feeling gets frustrated
I'm gonna keep it motivated
Motivated

We gotta shake it up
Twice the price at half the cost
Swim hard against the tide

You gotta wade through all the shit
End up eating half of it
Watch as time passes by

You gotta regroup and redesign
Struggled once again to find
Calculations awry

There's no easy way
Listen to what the others say
Don't stop - don't let it die

You gotta have fun riding the rollercoaster
Let the panic rush envelop your mind
I'll let you know when the show is over

Cos I don't need you 
More than you need me
I don't need you 
More than you need me

Yeah yeah yeah
I don't need you

Keep it motivated

I'm gonna keep it motivated
It ain't like I never waited
When the feeling gets frustrated
I'm gonna keep it motivated
Keep it motivated

Repeats

Get your ass alright
We're freaking out tonight
Your show is pumping as you writhe on the floor

Leave your head at home
Cos you're feeling wrong
Pleased to meet you - come on in shut the door

Sing along get overloaded with me 
Yeah yeah
Sing along get overloaded with me 
Yeah yeah

Now we've settled in
The party starts to swing
We could be anywhere but here we are now

So don't you hesitate
You got the time to waste
Tonight's the night - it's yours alone take a bow

Sing along get overloaded with me 
Yeah yeah
Sing along get overloaded with me 
Yeah yeah
Sing along get overloaded with me 
Cos you might get it right
And you might break free

Lets go!

Yeah
Sing along get overloaded with me 
Yeah yeah
Sing along get overloaded with me 
Yeah yeah yeah
Sing along get overloaded with me 
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Sing along get overloaded with me 
Cos you might get it right
And you might break free
Yeah

Sing along
Sing along
Come on


Somebody Else

I put my feeling inside a crescendo
Drop my nails down the blackboard and teach yourself ego
Seems like every day I get a little more jaded
Though I'm dressed to impress - I get stretched and downgraded

It's not funny
Just show me the money
Save all your excuses for somebody else
I'm in a hurry
You know I'm not sorry
Save all your excuses for somebody else
Somebody else

Can't take the fight to the cause
Cos the cause is a sham
And I've been faking so long
Gonna fix who I am

It's not funny 
Just show me the money
Save all your excuses for somebody else
I'm in a hurry
You know I'm not sorry
Save all your excuses for somebody else
Stop eulogising
About your compromising
Don't you know that honesty isn't too good for your wealth
No need to worry
When I'm in the money
I'll save all my excuses for somebody else
Somebody else
For somebody else
For somebody else
For somebody else

No need to worry
When I'm in the money
Save all my excuses for somebody else
Somebody else
For somebody else
For somebody else
For somebody else etc


Happy Ever After

I used to think I'd had more than enough
Of the things I didn't need
I tried so hard to do the best I could
To maximize my greed

I slept walked slowly into all I deserve
Nobody's fault but mine
I'd lie blindly just to cover the facts
But I was dying inside

Is this happy ever after
Is this what we're waiting for
Through my tears I hear the laughter
As they sell us all back what they stole

Not everyone will do as they're told
Right from the deck to the top
The attraction is just sweet enough
We're all like peas to the pod

I wish I knew the stuff I know now back then
But don't we all say that?
It takes so long becoming sheep in the pen
Before we know we're trapped

Is this happy ever after
Is this what we're waiting for
Through my tears I hear the laughter
As they sell us all back what they stole
They sell us all back what they stole
They sell us all back what they stole
They sell us all back what they stole

I've got a problem with this freedom we've got
It don't feel free to me
I don't remember being asked what I thought
'bout how all this should be

Is this happy ever after
Is th is what we're waiting for
Through my tears I hear the laughter
Is this happy ever after

Is this happy ever after
Is th is what we're waiting for
Through my tears I hear the laughter
As they sell us all back what they stole


Shine It On

Well you spend every day
With your head in your hands
Taking all your strength to believe

Leaving nothing at all
But the feelings are plain

Well you work every hour too
Coming home and you're dead on your feet

And you've just closed your eyes
And they're open again

You gotta shine
Shine
Shine it on
Shine
Shine
Shine it on
This old world don't give you much
You gotta take what's wrong
And shine
Shine
Shine it on

Who do you see when you look at yourself
Is it you underneath that disguise
It's a fool who believes in the song of the ??night??

Back in the day when you were dreaming of gold
And you'd think this is what you'd become
You don't wanna believe that it's all that you've got

You gotta shine
Shine
Shine it on
Shine
Shine
Shine it on
This old world don't give you much
You gotta take what's wrong
And shine
Shine
Shine it on
Shine it on
Shine it on
Shine it on
Yeah

Shine
Shine
Shine it on
Shine
Shine
Shine it on
This old world don't give you much
You gotta take what's wrong
And shine
Shine
Shine it on
Shine it on
Shine it on
Shine it on

Feels like the pressure is crushing your skull
Don't see any way out
You gotta shine
Just shine
Shine
Shine it on
Shine it on
Shine it on
And that's all
