Mark Hollis
Happiness Is Easy
[Verse 1]
Makes you feel much older
Sublime the blind parade
It wrecks me how they justify their acts
Of war, they assemble, they pray

[Bridge]
Take good care of what the priests say
'After death it's so much fun'
Little sheep, don't let your feet stray

[Chorus]
Happiness is easy
(Joy be written on the Earth)
(And the sky above)
(Jesus, star that shines so bright)
(Gather us in love)

[Verse 2]
Guilt upon their shoulders
How well the cause evades
Infecting your religions, claiming pacts
It's easy to shoulder the blame

[Chorus]
Happiness is easy
(Little ships of Galilee)
Happiness is easy
(Standing on the sea)
Happiness is easy
(Jesus tried to love us all)
Happiness is easy
(Be a friend to me)
[Verse 3]
Try to teach my children
To recognise excuse before it acts
From love and conviction to pray

[Bridge]
Take good care of what the priests say:
"After death it's so much fun"
Little sheep, don't let your feet stray

[Chorus]
Happiness is easy
(Little ships of Galilee)
(Standing on the sea)
(Jesus tried to love us all)
(Be a friend to me)
(Little ships of Galilee)
(Standing on the sea)
(Jesus tried to love us all)
(Be a friend to me)
(Joy be written upon the Earth)
(And the sky above)
(Jesus, star that shines so bright)
(Gather us in love)
(Gather us in love)
