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

Noone wants to die.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye
