What Price Happiness? Lyrics - Youth Brigade

what price happiness, a price you can't afford 

still we purue this feeling as though it were the greatest reward they say that love's the only way to find true happiness 

so why do we keep fighting for a life that makes no sense 

how did the system of greed begin 

in pursuit of happiness to fill a need within 

they say there's nothing in this world that you can't buy 

yet the price of happiness is forever too high 

what price, what price happiness? 

what does this word happiness signify to you 

just a fleeting feeling well that's nothing new 

our lives are short death is certain 

don't think about that final curtain 

you're happy for so short a time 

happiness treads a very fine line 

what price, what price happiness? 

for everyone that is happy there are a million that are sad 

poor, starving, fighting, dying for the elusive life we have!
