Intro
Verse 1
Another year's deceased
We're starting this one numb and reeling
The champagne has lost its fizz
Just like promises we made last evening.
Verse 2
News feeds filled with flames
And talking heads keep on debating
Locked behind steel gates
The next generation is waiting.
Chorus
Happy New Year!
(Let's pretend)
It's a New Year!
(We start again)
It's a New Year!
(Till it ends)
It's a New Year!
Happy New Year!
…or whatever...
Instrumental
Verse 3
Remember saying once
"This time we'll make it right for certain"
Back when pills and wine
Could make the daylight stop hurting?
Now my doctor says
I need some professional assistance
But my friends insist
A bottle's cheaper than persistence.
Bridge
Have some fun, mingle with the crowd
While the drinks are free.
You think January is bad?
Wait till week twenty-three.
Instrumental solo
Chorus
Happy New Year!
(Let's pretend)
It's a New Year!
(We start again)
It's a New Year!
(Till it ends)
It's a New Year!
Happy New Year!
…or whatever...
