about

Irish Alternative Rock band Paradox return with a guitar heavy sound and plenty of sarcasm for their new single 'Welcome to the Happy Place'. Recorded and mixed by Brian Casey at Wavefield Recording Studios, West Cork, Ireland. Single artwork by Jota Gambuzino Photo and Video. All music and lyrics written by Pete Mac. The single itself takes a sarcastic view on today's buy happy 9 to 5 society. The idea of the single artwork was to mimic a fast food restaurant who's sales pitch is Happy :)

lyrics

How do I free myself when I'm trapped in line and freedom's straight ahead.
How do I lose myself when I find that I am lost inside my head
How do I love myself when the love has turned inverted on itself.
How do I fool myself and believe I'm free like everybody else

But I'll say fuck the past and fuck the future
I'm living now nothing's forever
Show me how, a certified loser

The world is a happy place
Nine to five saving face

What if the day was gone and the night came out and blackened everything
What if the damage done could destroy itself reversing all your pain
What if the sun burned out and a fire reigned destroying everything
What if the ground gave out in a traffic jam what's the point of anything.

When I say fuck the past and fuck the future
I'm living out a state of confusion
Show me how it's all an illusion

The world is a nasty place
Living with the human race
The world takes the world it breaks
Let's see your happy face

How can I know myself when no one knows who they really are
How to control myself and control my world
Now I've gone too far
How to delete myself until there's nothing left
But a few remaining scars
How do you see yourself do you feel the same
No one really cares

But I'll say fuck the past and fuck the future
I'm living now nothing's forever
I'll make you proud a certified loser

The world is a happy place
Nine to five saving face
The world breaks what it creates
Show me your happy face :)
