The Replacements - Happy Town Lyrics

The plan was to sweep the world off its feet
So you sweep the garage for the neighbours to see
The plan was to set the world on its ear
And I bet you don't know why you're here
Who knew

That avenue was bound for happy town
Happy town
Happy now
Happy town

Actors, authors, artists and thieves
And after the parties where nobody hates
Former strippers and junkies and men of the cloth
And we all fell in line and got lost
Who knew

That avenue was bound for happy town
Happy town
Happy now
Happy town
Happy town
Happy town
Happy town

The plan was to set the world on its ear
And I'm willing to bet you don't last a year
The plan was to set the world on fire

But it rains every day on the line
In happy town
Happy town
Happy town
Repeat
