Staring down a memory through an empty bottle
Run away the way your daddy used to do
Hit your sweetheart like your hero hit your mother
In the end it's carried on because of you
All we're looking for is happiness
Happiness and a place to be
Sunni children orphaned by a human bomber
It keep their fathers' wounds and fear and hatred, too
Quoting scripture while they kill their foreign brothers
Can't you see they're really just like me and you?
All they're looking for is happiness
Happiness and a place to be
Now we're left to face the world we have created
Tryin' to blame it on the men we never knew
If you want it any different for our children
As far as I can see, it's up to me an you
All we're looking for is happiness
Happiness and a place to be
All I'm looking for is happiness
Happiness and the place to be
