I turned on the TV and saw there was a war
So I got up and went to my favorite store
Cause instead of getting up and takin’ some action
It’s easier to get some simple satisfaction
I can have a little Plastic Happiness
Have a little Plastic Happiness
I can occupy myself with manufactured distraction
Have a little Plastic Happiness
Well it’s lonely here in the basement tonight
I should get out and find a little hottie delight
But instead of getting out and goin’ out to the bar
I can go in online chatrooms and avoid the scars
I can have a little Plastic Happiness
Have a little Plastic Happiness
I can pacify myself with artificial affection
Have a little Plastic Happiness
I could find some peace
In striving to achieve
But it takes so much effort
I’d rather self-deceive
And I’m fat and I’m happy in my house up on the hill
I got instant contentment in a bottle of pills
And I could go out and make the world a better place
But I’ll sit here watchin’ TV with a smile on my face
And I’ll have a little Plastic Happiness
Have a little Plastic Happiness
I won’t worry ‘bout the future and I’ll take no action
Have a little Plastic Happiness |
