Hard To Get

Hard to miss it’s everywhere
Plastered on the walls
Flashing from the monitors and
Posted in the stalls
This’ll make you happy
And it comes by word of mouth
I heard it from the kids
Heading down South
What I want
What I need
Happiness is playing hard to get
But nothing comforts me
Danger sign, they tell you it’s easy
But never free
I found it in the garden once
And at the corner store
But now it’s on the TV
And I have to get more
I fuel it with my coffee
It’s the business I need
It’s true that I’m addicted
And the dealer’s after me
What I want
What I need
Happiness is playing hard to get
And nothing comforts me
Danger sign, they tell you it’s easy
But never free
They sell it to you packaged
Love and hope in neon signs
I found it for myself once
But I lost it over time
Mostly it’s the simple things
Like walking at night
Take the time to hear it and
The silence feels right
What I want
What I need
Happiness is playing hard to get
And nothing comforts me
Danger sign, they tell you it’s easy
But never free
Danger sign, they tell you it’s easy
But never free
They make it easy, but never free

It would seem that on some level we are all in search of happiness, and for many it is in short supply. There is no shortage of people that will sell you an expensive substitute.
