Splender - Happier This Way

Good song, even though it's by Splender it's almost their anti-Splender song. I guess we all get a little mad at God sometimes, even folks who praise him as much as Splender does. Good song if you're mad at someone.

You try to scream into the megaphone
You try to call me on the telephone
While I'm sinking at the bottom
And you don't even know my name

First you tell me it was copasetic
Then you tell me that was hypothetic
While I'm choking at the bottom
And you don't even know my name

But I'm happier this way
I found God, he dropped me yesterday
But I'm happier this way
I'll try harder now to disobey
But I'm happier this way

You try to hold me on the dirty floor
You try to kiss me with your cold sores
While I'm burning at the bottom
As you're blowing along the flame

But I'm happier this way
I found God, he kicked me yesterday
But I'm happier this way
I'll try harder now to disobey
But I'm happier this way

I'm a leech, I'm a lie
I believe all the hype
What I need, I'm denied
Water me as you waste my time...

So you tell me that you really care
But I noticed that you're never there
While I'm fucked and at the bottom
And you don't even know my name.

But I'm happier this way
I found God, he beat me yesterday
But I'm happier this way
I'll try harder now to disobey.
but I'm happier this way
Happier this way

Oh well. I'm pretty sure Splender was using this as a song to let their anger out.. I know they love God with all their lyrics in their other songs. I just think this is a good song because it's real, even if it's really cynical.
