[Verse 1]
Well, we're droppin' our bombs
In the southern hemisphere
And people are starving
That live right here
And they're tearing down walls
In the name of peace
And they're killing each other
In the Middle East

[Chorus]
But love and happiness
Have forgotten our names
And there's no value left
In love and happiness
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
They raise the price of oil
And then they censor our mouths

[Chorus]
Love and happiness
In love and happiness
Oh, yeah

[Verse 3]
So, if you sell arms
Or you run dope
You got respect
And you got hope
But the rest of us die
In love and happiness
With wounds that fester and bleed
But never heal

[Chorus]
And love and happiness
Have forgotten our names
And there's no value left
In love and happiness

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Love and happiness, yeah
And love and happiness
Yeah, love and happiness
Have forgotten our names
And there's no value left
In love and happiness (Oh, yeah)

[Outro]
In love and happiness (Oh, yeah)
Love and happiness (Oh, yeah)
In love and happiness (Oh, yeah)
