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 Death 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
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
