The Pursuit Of Happiness Lyrics - Crashdog

Everybody wants what they want 

It's the way we've learned to live 

Everybody wants ehat they want 

But no one wants to give 

Everybody wants some happiness 

At someone else's expense 

We choke on our fill 

We live in excess 

But we buy, lie, and kill 

In the pursuit of happiness 

Everybody wants some peace of mind 

So they ignore the guilt 

But you can't erase this land's disgrace 

Or the blood we have spilt 

Everybody wants the greener grass 

That's on their neighbor's lawn 

It's why wars are waged 

And freedom's caged 

And coffins are filled with pawns 

Everybody wants to fight the fight 

But no one wants to bruise 

Everybody wants to die a martyr 

But pray on padded pews 

Everybody needs to hear the truth 

About our emptiness 

That Jesus Christ 

Is the end of the search 

In the pursuit of happiness
