Simpler Positivity

A little stability and a bucket o’ joy
Go a whole long way in this messed up world,
But under a waterfall your bucket won’t stand tall.
Mine’s fallen too many times to ignore bliss’ crimes.
Every time that I’m done and I’m wantin’ to go home,
Bucket is gone and my chances are blown.

I stopped searchin’ for bliss and set my sights on a simpler positivity.
It’s not the top o’ my list, ‘cause well you get the gist,
Seemed to lead to escape or pain.
Escape or pain,
Escape or pain,
Escape or pain.

I need the type of approach that’ll grow good times,
But won’t knock my soul out of line.
The type that leaves us smilin’ while we’re passin’ the while,
But leaves our futures fine.
Sometimes a little too much is a whole lot worse
Than a moderate take on even bliss’ turf.
Sometimes a little too much is a whole lot worse
Than a moderate take on even bliss’ turf.

I stopped searchin’ for bliss and set my sights on a simpler positivity.
It’s not the top o’ my list, ‘cause well you get the gist,
Seemed to lead to escape or pain.
Escape or pain,
Escape or pain,
Escape or pain.
