Everything, everything is looking dreary There's too many people in the world and far too much pollution in the air. Everything I used to love has turned to shit All the world's gone bankrupt now and it Doesn't look like things can soon improve I'm noticably older than I was Definitely fatter just because I no longer feel the need to move. Well, what do you do when the world around you makes you so depressed? What do you do when you've lost the motivation to get dressed?
Pretend that you are happy And smile when you're feeling blue If you pretend you're happy You'll start to believe it's true It's better to fake a smile Than fill the world with woe So just pretend you're happy And nobody will know.
Bloody hell, bloody hell the world is scary Cos there's nothing but corruption and destruction and reality TV Every day, every day I slowly realise Every single thing I used to know and trust is run by people just like me! One at a time I'm losing touch with my Former friends and lately it seems I Never ring the contacts in my phone Every time I breathe, it could be my last breath And I'm getting closer to my death For which I will probably be alone Well, what do you do when you've lost all the ambitions you once had What do you do when the slightest inconvenience makes you sad?
Pretend that you are happy And smile when you're feeling down If your friends think you're happy They'll still want you around. You'll realise it's important To be glad with what you've got So just pretend you're happy And keep quiet if you're not!
Pretend that you are happy And smile when you're feeling blue If you pretend you're happy You'll start to believe it's true It's better to fake a smile Than fill the world with woe... So just pretend you're happy And nobody will know.
