It doesn't really matter if I'm happy or sad
It's bigger than the rest of us he'll promise you that, I'm glad, I'm glad
He's picking up the drinks and then he's knocking them back
I've never seen someone who wears a sad little mask like that, like that
The only guy that has got you in the palm of his hand
Is busy today with someone else's plans
He chooses life and then she chooses a man
It doesn't really matter if I'm happy or sad
In any case, I look at him, my life ain't half as bad, as bad
The only guy that has got you in the palm of his hand
Is busy today with someone else's plans
He chooses life and then she chooses a man
He's picking it up but she don't give a damn
Hold me, it's a crisis that we're pulling towards
Cartoon people fighting an American war
Maybe there's a fire today
Maybe there's a fire today
Maybe it's not going away
Maybe it's not going away
Hold me, it's a crisis that we're pulling towards
Cartoon people fighting an American war
The only guy that has got you in the palm of his hand
Is busy today with someone else's plans
He chooses life and then she chooses a man
Maybe there's a fire today
Maybe there's a fire today
Maybe it's not going away
Maybe it's not going away
