What Will Happen Will Happen

(album: Damn Skippy - 2005)

So, what if I'm down, stuck in reverse
I look around, it could be worse
What can I do? Honestly I've
Got nothing to
Offer at all
Why should I grieve, why should I fall?
I'd rather breathe
Cover my ears, open my eyes, and see what appears

What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
There are days to wake up for
There are dreams to be had
What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
There's a reason I'm freezing at eighty degrees in a summery season:
I'm totally mad

So, I'll let it go
No need to sink now that I know that I can think
Therefore I am able to choose when I give a damn
I refuse to be dumb
This is my niche
I won't become misery's bitch
If I can hold apathy under total control

What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
There are days to wake up for
There are dreams to be had
What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
And there's a reason I'm freezing at eighty degrees in a summery season:
I'm totally mad

Not a hip hopped, not a heart stopped
Everybody's gone stone cold crazy, like a cherry tree chopped
Maybe Martin Scorsese's new movie just flopped, or
Maybe some baby in a groovy helicopter

We do, we do nothing but hold the window shut to keep the worry out
We never wanna see the daylight fade
We gotta masquerade to keep the worry out

But they have ways of making me think
I can't blink, can't drink
Can't put up a stink about the rattling battling and the countdown paddling
The motherland straddling the weaky freak link

We do, we do nothing but hold the window shut to keep the worry out
We never wanna see the daylight fade
We gotta masquerade to keep the worry out

Imagine a world without the Unabombers, and the Jeffrey Dahmers
Wouldn't we be calmer?
Now of course by "we", I'm only speaking for me
But it's easy to assume that other people agree, you see

We do, we do nothing but hold the window shut to keep the worry out
We never wanna see the daylight fade
We gotta masquerade to keep the worry out

If I, at my own convenience, forget what they say
I find it easy to focus on living each day
If I could change it I would, to do what someone else should
But I believe that the problem is misunderstood

What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
There are days to wake up for
There are dreams to be had
What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
There are days to wake up for
There are dreams to be had
What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
What will happen will happen whether I'm happy or sad
