1st Movement: Hassett’s Symphony No.1 in G-Sharp Major, "Mr. Happy": I. Sonata, 'Proper Etiquette For Running Away From Home' Psychic says it’s mom’s voice in my head that makes me feel this way Dad says he won't stop bothering me until I go to therapy Therapist says I'm clearly a principled young man and he really thinks I'm on my way Two psychiatrists said I'm clearly depressed and by no means should I leave Hooker said "I'm not not a Motel 6 kinda girl and by your look you can't afford me anyway" I'm pretty sure Jane's an atheist but she said, "For the love of god, stop talking to me" I wanna wake up when I'm finished sleeping, excuse me mister sorry for interrupting, but won't you leave me alone? Won't you leave me alone. All my New York friends are too depressed to get out of bed so I hopped a freight train to Chicago I met a girl who seemed to live in her own world but she had a boyfriend She told me she had feelings for me and then I kissed her and then she fucked all my friends and never talked to me again Lilly spent the whole party staring and licking her lips at me I asked her to the roof she said she was too drunk the next day I asked out and she said sorry Still I can’t get over the Renoir eyes, storybook mind, and that stupid fucking way that she walks Chance said just a peck and it was just a peck I met the 25 year old guy Chance fucked instead of me and I couldn't agree more really I once had a girl who said that I was her whole world, it took her three weeks to move on to fucking vinny David Byrne says the best thing to have is a girlfriend with bows in her hair And David I couldn't agree more but I can't find her anywhere I got bad timing, an off-putting demeanor, and crippling social anxiety I say that as if anyone who really got to know me would fucking fall in love with me But I can't always be waiting on you you... My friends are too realistic to do what they want so they got sucked up by school and then Wall Street Dylan says sometimes talking to me is fucking exhausting I just met another old lady who said she's praying for me Oh but can't you tell from this melody that I am just fucking peachy I don’t have a temper I’m just fucking angry They wanna teach me manners, we'll listen lady I'm leaving and I'm not sending any post cards or souvenir cups I've got to sort out my values, will somebody shut that fucking baby up Neighbor says "kid why are you breaking all that shit I'm sick of all these fucking stoners" I saw a girl who danced by herself in the flowers, she looked over at me and I just stood there Principal said "son I'm proud of you you score the highest, but do you really have to dress like that" I said "I'm sorry if I scratched your Japanese car but does it really fucking matter man" The cop said you can't smile for mugshots but they couldn't take the smile off my face Judge said "we don't have enough evidence but if you don't change soon you're gonna learn the hard way" All the money in this world, every smile every girl, won't save me from just being a stupid fuck Sister said "don’t talk to me like that I'm not a character in that fucking book" JD said "Holden was a mistake now you damn kids get off my lawn" God kept up her petty silent treatment and everything just kept going on Basically what I'm saying is I thought it over in my head and all the things you said and now i don't hate you anymore I used a fake name and I paid in cash but if you can track me down there's room here for one more Yeah there's always room in this bed for one more 2nd Movement: Hassett’s Symphony No.1 in G-Sharp Major, "Mr. Happy": II. Adagio, 'Gut-Level' Daisy really fucked me up last year I tried to play it as cool as I could Daisy really fucked me up last year I tried to play it off as cool as I could I stopped myself from using the knife Instead I used a marker Wrote 'slut' and 'fuck up' all over my arms Man I gotta learn to keep it together You look, can I, would you, sorry You look so, can I just, would you please, sorry, nevermind, please don’t leave I couldn't possibly be losing it, I swear I didn’t do it just for the reaction I couldn't possibly be losing it, Man I don't even care if I passed the audition I couldn't possibly be losing it, They just wanna get a conviction I couldn't possibly be losing it, but I'm having trouble with my concentration I couldn't possibly be losing it, It seems I get a cold every time I'm about to start singin' I couldn't possibly be losing it, I clipped my nails down to perfection Daisy really fucked me up last year I tried to play it as cool as I Could Daisy really fucked me up last year I tried to play it off as cool as I could So cool 3rd Movement: Hassett’s Symphony No.1 in G-Sharp Major, "Mr. Happy": III. Minuet, 'Success Style' I’m fucking falling apart here’s a smile I still got one saved from yesterday Yes it’s all big joke, so just laugh and go home, please just leave me alone, what’s an audience good for anyway I fucked up I know, god don’t you think that I know why do you have to keep saying it You see this type of parenting is no good for me, I’m in no mood for your lecturing, and I never liked your whole success style anyway Hassett’s Symphony No.1 in G-Sharp Major, "Mr. Happy": IV. Rhondo, 'Mr. Happy' I am a person I’m just fine I’m alright I can control myself I can stay cool calm and collected I don’t need anyone to calm me down. I don’t need to be calmed down I don’t need anyone to calm me down I am a human I have thoughts feelings and opinions And they all matter I am to be respected I will be loved Above all I should love and respect myself I deserve what I have I deserve to be happy God doesn’t hate me Mind over matter I must seize every opportunity If I need help I should seek it I am a person All opinions matter I have potential I will not lie I will not break promises I wont let you down sir I won’t fuck it up Not like last time This time will be different I will apply myself My heart is in the right place I am properly motivated and adequately inspired No need to worry about me anymore I’m all better I talked to professionals I got the right treatment I followed all the right steps I’m really on my way I can buy things on credit because I know ill pay them back I can start doing favors and not just receiving I can be a person like other people I am no longer thinking morbid thoughts I no longer have a disrespectful attitude I have stopped watching dark films and reading disturbing novels I am no longer worried about other people’s problems I will be happy with what I have I will love the one I’m with I will not fall into old cycles I will not let my personal demons get the best of me I am a capable and functioning adult They talked some sense into me Yes they fixed me up real good I won’t fuck it up sir Not like last time This time will be different You can trust in me Yes I understand this is my last chance I wont fuck it up sir I wont let you down I wont let you down sir I wont fuck it up Not again Not again Not again I won’t have anymore episodes I am not alone I will not be such a child I will not make excuses for my laziness I will stay on the ball and keep my head in the game I won’t let my emotions get the best of me When I was a kid I had straight blonde hair Fuck I know I could be anybody And I’m sorry that I’m me

I know you wish I thought of you the same way you think of me I know you know that it's not true when I say you never annoy me I know you wish I thought of you but I just don't give a shit I don't know if I'm just depressed or you're just not good enough She knows I wish she thought of me the same way I think of her It's hard to escape the idea that I'm just not good enough Not good enough, I'm not good enough So I'm yours I'm your fake fuck,boy you got shit luck you're beautiful and I can't get it up Do what you will I'll stay until there's something I can get Something I've never had yet Bruised knuckles and bloody finger tips never did anyone any good Bloody up the drywall with five hits and I'm still not good enough

You glide and float through life and you know it you show it all the time I'm not gonna drag this out and wax pathetic I mean it you'll be fine You deserve a chance at true happiness and I I deserve a chance to blow it with somebody else If you're ever, ever alone and I somehow gracelessly stumble across your mind just look at the moon in the night sky 'cause I'm probably on some rooftop drunk as hell screaming noise-complaint loud, unintelligible at the moon, at god, at you, at the cops, at whatever the fuck having a hard time coming to terms with my luck 'cause you're the type of girl who people kill themselves 'cause they can't have, and I'm the type of guy who stubbornly refuses to die fuck how i feel, I'm gonna ride this one out True love waits, yeah right, true love waits for a ghost from a storybook with a price tag on its back, while real life tramples innocence and playfully kicks around its corpse and the songs don't help fuck yes indeed Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than he loves me Somewhere, beyond the sea somewhere, not thinking of me my lover fucks some other guy and watches the clouds go rolling by I am yours, but you're not mine, we are whatever the fuck and you make it hard

It's four in the morning, the month of December I'm writing you now just to see if you're better New York is cold, but I like where I'm living There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night when you planned to get clean Did you ever get clean? Ah, the last time I saw you you looked so much older Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder You'd been to the station to meet every train, And then you came home without little Marlene And you gave my woman a flake of your life And when she came home she was nobody's wife And I see you there with the rose in your teeth One more thin gypsy thief Well, I see Jane's awake She sends her regards What can I tell you my brother, my killer What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you I'm glad you stood in my way If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me Know your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried And Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that your plans became clear Sincerely, K. Hassett

I seen you dancing in the summertime and I know you are mine I seen you crying in the winter time and I know you are mine yeah I know you are mine Seen you try and pretend with those other men who think they can compete without another you know you'll never be complete yeah without me you'll never be complete yeah you'll never be complete And I dick around And I mess around And I dick around And I fuck around Surely some day our time will come all our past wrongs will be undone sure as the setting of the sun sure as the sinking of the sun sure as the dying of the sun sure as the burnout of the sun sure as we'll all be swallowed by the sun I seen you dancing in the summertime and i know you are mine I seen you crying after dinnertime and I know you are mine yeah I know you are mine Somewhere in some big city you're waiting there for me yeah you're waiting there for me yeah you're waiting for me But I ain't coming no I ain't left yet I gotta get something off my chest Despite what you think, what you've been led to believe you are not the one for me And I dick around I'll leave you right where you were Sure as the burnout of the sun

I ain't much for loving, I love then I go away and I ain't much for friendship, 'cause I ain't here to stay If you lie the right way you can get anything you want something in that red dress sparked my senses on You been hangin' 'round with Jimmy, yeah, oh yeah, I know there will cease to be a problem with that big hole in your throat what a beautiful, beautiful beautiful day yes it's me dear, there ain't no demons in my veins

I'm on my way to miss you don't like you as much as you think don't miss you as much as I drink but soon you'll be an old habit and you know me and old habits so I'm on my way to miss you got fear in my bones no love in my home between their unhappy marriage and repressed-rage bouts ma and pa taught us all about the dangers of lies and alcohol but what they really showed was the dangers of doing what you're told all we knew in this world didn't wanna end up like that what choice did we have you're always so suave when you walk out always so cool maybe this time I'll get my act together yeah, huh, which one's the fool? you always come back 'cause you need it can't leave behind your tools and when you come back you say nothing nothing tra la la nothing, nothing at all and I won't take credit and I don't give credit and I don't get credit I don't have credit cards another symbol of loss of childhood innocence charading as growth and progress all the digits on the grid say you're a success but in a dark room with your tears just picking up dust numbers don't mean much natives run from the Gatling gun screaming we're all one delirium tremors gonna wake up the neighbors it's only have past 1

I'd like to have a distilled spirit But for now a drink will do I got nothing to lose Except all my reasons to lie to you Wish I could just drive and blast music and think about nothing But these singers won’t stop singin about their problems And the tress on the side of the road offer no solution They just say nothing And these singers wont stop talking about all my problems Life is bleak and life is long and I am dumb and I am wrong and if you wanna make your own decisions you gotta do it alone mud hardens into dirt, dirt melts into mud, with some water, I fall asleep, again, without her Wish I could go back to ma and pa Milk and cookies with a southern drawl But the innocent times, they weren’t so innocent I used to throw rocks and blame in on my sisters What’s the point when you can’t have the only thing you want What’s the point when you fuck up the only thing you want What the fuck is the point when you can’t have the only thing you want What the fuck is the point when you fuck up the only thing you want What the fuck is the point what the fuck is the point She is good and she is wise and I am mean and full of lies And it’s good She walked away when she could She is good and she is wise and I am mean and full of lies And it’s good She left when she could I didn’t cheat exactly

I'm not gonna write a strongly worded letter I'm not gonna file any paperwork I'm just gonna build my house by hand I'll build it out on some federal land Maybe I'll go to Chicago That's the kind of town that I'd like to know Move in a house with a few of my friends and stay clear of any speed traps yeah I will ah ha ha woo ha ha ha yeah baby yeah ha ha ha woo hoo hoo alright baby I must've misplaced my rose-colored glasses I quit my job, I'm dropping all my classes I'm licensed and registered, but I can't afford the gas I probably coulda been a lawyer or something I probably coulda had a really nice yard I coulda run for congress I run faster than my car I really do yeah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha woo ahhahoohoo ha ha babadadat yeah ha ha ha I let it all go called the ground my home I'll find god I'll give her a kiss for you

An old man decided he'd finally came to his sense after years of sitting around, alone and defenseless He knew what he'd become He had become what he never wanted to He would become just a bunch of molecules His life had come undone He said, "Jesus, take the wheelchair, I don't need it anymore." Life is meaningless anyway, we'll just decay, degrade, and fade away So waste your time and take a photograph if you like, you'll never get another chance What if the world ended on a Tuesday? Where would you be? Sitting in traffic, or in a cubicle, would you be happy? Jesus is coming and so is an asteroid so drive your golf cart into a bush Jesus is coming and so is an asteroid so drive your golf cart into a bush Always and forever Oh what a load of shit, that means nothing, you proved it time and time again I know that you're waiting waiting for someone to run to after you and me are through ah, the sun shines down on your remorse ah, as if you ever had a choice now join the crowd and make some noise

She is scheming something up I believe I am in luck I fit into her plans quite nicely tonight, and tomorrow we'll play a little game of whoever cares less wins I always win No I'm not alright but I've been working on fixing myself with respect I think you can help but it's really up to you do what you like you've got eyes like a cello in a Nirvana song oh hello sorry it's been quite long since anyone's looked at me like that no I'm not sure anyone has ever quite looked at me like that but yes I guess this is just how I am I must have just gotten lucky with those first couple of jokes I suppose no hard feelings you can leave my like you found me ugly, broken, and cold no feelings aren't hard at all I think I got 'em figured out so just keep floating and I'll just sink here into the ground She's scheming something up I believe I am in luck some things just aren't worth fixing

She's smiling I think she likes my style The prettiest girl I ever seen in my whole life She likes grunge and the word 'perfunctory' This has gotta be the one this time it's gotta be the one for me Can't find the right time to kiss her so I don't I punch the steering wheel five times and then drive home Hey kid you've gotten tall Would you like some vegetables It's funny cause he doesn't like vegetables I don't need your suggestion just stand right there and hold this If you're gonna be an asshole about it you're gonna make my boyfriend do it Do you really wanna make my boyfriend do it Turn off that music I can't have that right now You can't imagine how I hate this Here's your fucking chorus I'm so sorry about all the cursing Hey you can't do that, I can't just give everyone a warning I gotta give you a ticket sorry Oh that was today I can't make it to the show but you should still go without me Why should we hire you What words to describe yourself would you use Hey yeah Mrs. Margarine, you're not quite as smooth as butter but I'll take anything that's coming to me You can do anything you wanna do cause it doesn't do anything for me What do you want I'll do anything and I'll do it for free You can do anything you wanna do cause it doesn't do anything for me You don't wanna get stuck with me I need another and another and another and it's never enough You can do anything you wanna do cause it doesn't do anything for me If you think you're gonna save me you've read too many books 'cause we're desperate and we're vulnerable One day we might even be emotionally available Yeah if we got our shit together we might be able to really have a future Yeah maybe not No maybe not but ain't it pretty to think so Isn't it pretty to think so I never know where my arms should go You can always tell when someone doesn't know Where their arms should go And I never know I'm all over the place, flailing and desperate to hit home Shit I let the cat out and it's gonna kill that bunny I just know it, the only pure thing left on this street I shouldn't be able to sleep tonight but all I ever care about is me It's not your fault it's really not This always happens the first night Stop crying, yes I do like you It'll be better the next time What's the point of all this shit To work to get a house like the one I had as a kid Except now when something breaks it's me, I'm the one who's gotta fix it Nothing it's nothing just go back inside I really don't wanna burden your night The lady says "have a nice flight" Doesn't look up, doesn't look me in the eye I told them I was gonna do it but I didn't They won't stop repeating they won't stop repeating I told them I was gonna try but I didn't They won't stop repeating they won't stop repeating I told them I was gonna do it but I didn't 'Cause I'm a douchebag and an asshole I'm a pussy and I can't cope a loser, a fuck up, and a lost hope But I've got talent and a sore throat And you can't imagine how I hate this You can't You can't You can

We will be together in a dream you'll see Just you and me, yes the real me, real as I'll ever be who else could it be and we won't have to do those things they make us do there'll be no need we'll be free they told me from the start that life's not fair And I told you that I don't care early on I reached my conclusion I was sure just not sure when and when it was when, and yes, it was when you could rest assured you did what you could and I just wouldn't listen I couldn't speak but I sang and I screamed they just kept talking over me until one day they said good job but then they moved on and they never looked back until I made them with my final act but it didn't change a god damn thing they said what they always say about these kinds of things a tragedy so sorry if there's anything you need thoughts and prayers to the family no one knows why we dream and no one knows why we sing and no one knows why you're here and no one knows why I'm not and no one knows why we dream and no one knows why we sing and no one knows why you're here and no one knows why you're not and no one knows why they dream and no one knows why they sing and no one knows why they're here and no one knows why we're not and we will be together in a dream

I lie awake nothing will be changed but what I say doesn't matter anyway I'll just be bones in a box in the dirt you wanna fly away but you don't got wings so you just try to keep on living like a human being but you're not sure exactly what that means so you just
