R U Happy? Lyrics by Ren Stedman

The Half-Arsed Defeat

2019

[Verse 1]
Are you happy
Or just distracted?
Things stayed same but on the darker days
You say you're fine but you've adapted
You're content
Or just well practised
Say your lines and always smile on time
Repeat the action, you're just fine
[Pre-Chorus]
Take pill and chew, tell doctors you
Won't act the way you used to do
Reflecting on the past I see
That suicide is cowardly
I'm sorry for distress I've caused
I won't need to go back at all
To therapy or hospital
I've got a job so now I'm cured
[Chorus]
Drink tea
Watch TV
But just make sure that you're acting normally
[Verse 2]
Are you happy
Or are you acting?
Let Mother get some sleep tonight
Whilst you confide in strangers online
You're okay
You're interacting
You're sharing things not bottling them up
You won't break promises
[Pre-Chorus]
Make friendship circles, burn your journals
Sertraline is universal-
Ly approved to fix your mood
And stop those silly thoughts intruding
On life, it's set design
To make sure you don't fall outside
Of what's accepted. You're depressing
He's too happy, she's not eating
Make some phonecalls, check protocols
Increase small dose, then diagnose
Misery
Or lack of personality
[Chorus]
Drink tea
Watch TV
But just make sure that you're acting normally
[Pre-Chorus]
So take pill and chew, tell doctors you
Won't act the way you used to do
Reflecting on the past I see
That suicide is cowardly
I'm sorry for distress I've caused
I won't need to go back at all
To therapy or hospital
I've got a job so now I'm cured
[Chorus]
Drink tea
Watch TV
But just make sure that you're acting normally
