Happy Now

Are you happy now?
Now that I've dumbed it down?
Are you happy now?
I took all the content out

I'm never going to transmit who I am
You're never going to translate what I meant to say anyway

Are you happy now?
Now that I've shut you out?
Are you happy now?
I took all the feeling out

It doesn't really matter where you are
I'm never going to make it very far outside my mind

You hear our voices riding on the waves
You make our choices for us
You need to dance and we need to get paid
They squash the signal so much
How could you tell if we lied?

Are you happy now?
Now that the cat is out?
Aren't you happy now?
There's nothing to cry about

They'll never let me transmit who I am
You'd never understand just what I meant to say anyway

You hear our voices riding on the waves
You make our choices for us
You need to dance and we need to get paid
They squash the signal so much
How could you tell if we lied?
How could you tell if we lied?

I tried to tell you a thousand times
I'm not the boy you know and like
You made him up inside your mind
So don't give me those puppy eyes
I tried to tell you

You hear our voices riding on the waves
You make our choices for us
You need to dance and we need to get paid
They squash the signal so much

How could you tell if we lied?
How could you tell if we tried?
How could we tell if we lied?
What would you care if we died?

Are you happy now?
