Truly Happy

An actor says that he's truly happy on screen
Then he dies of an overdose 20 years later that's grand
Maybe he was just too happy, I don't understand (yeah yeah)

You're only rich if you can sleep at night
Otherwise it's just money in the bank traded for worries on your mind
Knock and it shall be opened, seek and ye shall find
(Perform your labors all day long, but then comes the night)

Have you ever tried to pass through the eye of a needle
Now imagine you're a camel, that's hard, hard to contemplate
Strait is the way, narrow is the gate

The other guys got lucky, but you worked hard
Now nobody no-one nowhere never ever better take that away
Not God, not your family, not the feds, not the market, not fate

Now that you've made it big you can catch up on your dreams,
And hobbies and family time that you held in your heart long ago
But they're too far gone to resuscitate, so is your soul

You did what you had to do, not everything that's legal is good
And not all you did was legal
But at least you're not some angry kid, writing songs about rich people

You have one road left to salvation
But it requires undoing what you've done your whole life through
What's salvation worth anyway, to you?

[Chorus]
His fury has not turned away
But his arms are stretched out still
You could use this opportunity to change your ways
But I don't think you will

[Bridge]
It's not hard if you know what you're doing
To lay some snares, lace them with bait
But just make sure that you like where you're heading
Before it grows to late
