Nobody Is Happy All The Time (We're Doing Alright)

Thursday evening, I'm tired and I'm slow Somewhere between a sweet dream and a nightmare variety show It is okay to kick up heels sometimes, as long as you bear in mind Sometimes it's harder to be bitter than it is to be kind Friday morning, I'm tired and confused I need to come to terms, speak the words that were left unused It is okay to miss the mark sometimes, if you don't get behind Sometimes it's easier to come back when time is undefined Nobody is happy all the time See the man down the parkway, he probably just got a fine It is okay to lose yourself sometimes, as long as you keep in mind We're doing all right We're doing all right Friday evening, I'm tired but at ease It's time to mellow out, see the forest for the trees There are so many causes for this stubborn mediocrity But we just buy ourselves some flowers and we'll be allright Nobody is happy all the time See the crowd down the alley, they're fleeing for the fire Nobody is happy all the time But we're doing all right But we're doing all right
