Bruce McCulloch - Not Happy lyrics

Just because I don't live in a palatial home Just because I don't own a car with a car phone Just because I don't have bars of gold under my futon Doesn't mean I'm not happy I'm not happy 'cause I'm not happy I'm unhappy 'cause I'm unhappy I'm not happy when I'm not happy I'm not happy But I got TV But I love TV And I watch TV While those happy people sleep Just because I don't vote Just because I don't gloat Just 'cause I have no fur coat like Ronnie Hawkins Doesn't mean I'm not happy I'm not happy 'cause I'm not happy I'm unhappy when I'm unhappy I'm not happy when I'm not happy I'm not happy But I got TV Man, I love TV And I watch that screen I see happy people skiing If you look up "happiness" in Webster's Dictionary, you would find that it is defined as "lucky; fortunate; contented with one's lot; glad or pleased." If you were to look up "unhappy" in Webster's Dictionary, you would find that it is defined as "not happy; miserable; causing misfortune; unsuccessful; disasterous." I say if it's 4 AM and you're looking up either of these words, you're in a little bit of trouble either way, my friend. I'm not happy 'cause I'm not happy I'm unhappy when I'm not happy I'm miserable when I'm miserable I'm moody It's not because I don't have ski boots It's not because I don't take ginseng root It's not because d**h Of A Salesman's my Bible It's not because my sister's a stranger It's not because I'm not glad or pleased It's not because I'm less happy than Morrisey It's not because my empties are my nest egg It's not because I don't have casual dinner parties It's not because, it's not because I'm more unhappy than Morrisey I'm only happy when other people are unhappy I guess that's 'cause I, I'm not happy, I'm just a little, just a little low I won't cheer up I won't buy flowers I won't go on one-day trips of my hometown
