Jordan Thornquest - The Happiest Man in Town Lyrics



Jordan Thornquest - The Happiest Man in Town Lyrics
Official




I didn't think I'd have to write this yet
But have you seen the morning news
I'm the happiest man in my hometown
Ruled by racist country and the blues
I'm really no better than anyone else 'round here
But I'd planned to start out with my best foot forward for you
I'm flattered you'd look up to me
But surprise, I have no idea what to do
Everybody, let's get down
With the happiest man in town
How can he not be a little bit proud
With a voice so clear and loud
A straight-edge catalyst for fun
Never drank til 21
Clearly he knows what to do
So give us your point of view
This mornin's meal was had at 2PM
I only got up to take my dog outside
My mind is full of things I'm putting off
'Til I decide I'm worth their time
But please don't worry that I'm not doing too well
When the big rush starts, and I'm on stage
When the crowd looks, and my voice matters
I'll come alive and act my age
Everybody, let's get down
With the happiest man in town
How can he not be a little bit proud
With a voice so clear and loud
A straight-edge catalyst for fun
Never drank til 21
Clearly he knows what to do
So give us your point of view
Yeah, so, I got interviewed, uh, as the happiest man in town in my hometown
And they said, "Get advice from the happiest man in town,"
So how about that?
I'll give you a little advice
Here's what I think
Hold on, hold on, hold on
See, we live in a town that doesn't really like music
At least, music that's too loud, or makes you kinda scared
So you know what? I have a good idea
I'm in charge of this town, now, being the happiest man
So here's what I say we do
Let's burn it down
How about that?
I'm a voice of small town rage
If you're in charge, I'm gonna rattle your cage
And send you boys a message from the man who's now in charge
So you're all afraid of a little noise
Of loud, angry girls and boys
A precious notion of a peaceful town with meth problems and plenty of guns
We'll never see the sun
In a city that doesn't believe in fun
Who thinks that happiness and health is a prize to be won
Surprise, the kid you gave keys
Will drive right through your ancient knees
Into your city with our favorite song turned up all the way
Let's burn this town of apathy
With just our voice and energy
Brought by boredom and misery
You'll have to bury me
Let's burn this town of apathy
With just our voice and energy
Brought by boredom and misery
You'll have to bury me
(Hello there)
Let's burn this town of apathy
With just our voice and energy
Brought by boredom and misery
You'll have to bury me
Hello there, I'm new to pain
But I'm over that, I'm back again
Hello there, I'm new to purpose
Thanks to that, I don't feel worthless
Hello there, I'm over you and
Thanks to you, I'm feeling human
Hello there, I'm new to sorrow
But now my tears are dry
And I'll be back tomorrow
