Very Semi-Serious

Happiness isn't easily measured Things always look better From the outside I confess I've been feeling rebellious Dejected and jealous But what can I do except to smile? 'Cause serious is wearing thin I can't help but laugh out loud At the shit that's going down So I smile A grin is better than a wince I can either joke around Or let the worry drag me down Honestly I'm beginning to waiver From laid back to jaded It's a fine line What I need is a recalibration Some strong medication But what can I do except to smile? 'Cause serious is wearing thin I can't help but laugh out loud At the shit that's going down So I smile A grin is better than a wince I can either joke around Or let the worry drag me down Whenever I am at a loss or under fire A little gallows humor gets me every time So very semi-serious I have to grin Despite the sorry state I'm in
