Metric - Die Happy Lyrics






So what is this so-so-society?
Still drinking that Kool-Aid like it's free
Still popping that poison blow blow blow
Political you know how it goes

Is this dystopia?
Is this dystopia?
Is this dystopia?
Is this dystopia?

Fame is the bait
(And the switch is the look in your eye)
What will you ask?
(While we wait for the past to arrive)
Fame is the bait
(And the switch is your head in the sand)
Time that we waste
(While we wait for the future to land)

Die happy
In the summertime
So happy
I could die

This city is thick with common thieves
Still passing around the same disease
Who's running this town and why are we?
Still drinking that Kool-Aid like it's free

In this dystopia
In this dystopia
In this dystopia
In this dystopia

Fame is the bait
(And the switch is the look in your eye)
What will you ask?
(While we wait for the past to arrive)
Fame is the bait
(And the switch is your head in the sand)
Time that we waste
(While we wait for the future to land)

Fame is the bait
(And the switch is your desolate smile)
If I need it
(Though we shelter the thing for a while)
Fame is the bait
(And the switch is the touch of your hand)
Time that we waste
(While we wait for the future to land)

Die happy
In the summertime
So happy
I could die
Die happy
In the summertime
So happy
I could die

Duh duh duh duh duh
Die happy
Duh duh duh duh duh
Die happy
Duh duh duh duh duh
Die happy
Duh duh duh duh duh
Die happy

Duh duh duh duh duh
Die happy
Duh duh duh duh duh
Die happy
Duh duh duh duh duh
Die happy
Duh duh duh duh duh

  9. M.... B....

    Does it sound to anyone else like she's singing "So what is this so society?" I hear the word "so" before society... It's driving me crazy. That aside, I love this song. Metric kills it again!

  31. D.... v....

    Like the music, the songs, the voice and the singer!

  32. D.... E....

    I'm the only one who thinks that this album is a little bit depressive?
    Pd: anyway i think that is one of the better albums of the band together with oldworld underground where are you now

    D.... E....

    That's the point. It's about a dystopian future. Old World is similar because it's also political.

    D.... E....

    not instd

  33. l.... ....

    Best song in the album by far

  34. J.... D....

    I heard this song for the first time a few days ago and had to find out who it was. I’ve never heard of them before but thanks to this song, I’ve discovered some of their other songs. Love them!

    J.... D....

    Being late to the party is better than never being at the party!! METRIC is so great and underplayed. ENJOY!!!

  35. M.... ....

    This one is my fave on the album. The rest is gold too...but this song. It gets ya.
