I
t would be nice if we could all just sit together.
It would be great if we could have a cup of everything.
It would be lovely to see all your faces smiling.
It would be wonderful if all the shit I sing about was happening.
Was happening
Was happening
And it turns out to be, we’re a happy family.

But all these families break
And everybody’s on the take
All that matters today
The kind of money that you make.
The money that you make

Yeah all these families break
Everybody’s on the take
All that matters today,
The kind of money that you make,
The money that you make.

It would be nice if we could all just live together.
That’s a hand in hand situation.
It would be great if we could feel a bit of sympathy.
Sympathy for you and me.

It would be lovely if we’d all stood up together.
It’s got to be like the commercial on TV.
It would be wonderful if all the shit I sing about
was happening, happening, happening, yeah
Well it turns out to be, we’re a happy family.

But all the families break.
Everybody’s on the take.
All that matters today,
The kind of money that you make,
The money that you make
Yeah all these families break
Everybody’s on the take
All that matters today,
The kind of money that you make,

It would be nice if we could all just sit together
It would be great if we could have a little fun.
It would be nice if we could be a happy family today
