I know what's going on here Ain't no great mystery You'll lost faith in yourselves Clear as it can be You can whine all you want to Drown in your misery Or you can listen to me Listen to me
Laugh and be happy Don't you ever wear a frown Don't let the bastards ground you down Laugh and be happy A simple thing to do Live in your dream And your dream will come true
Be a red sun shining In a sky so blue Blackbirds singing in the trees Be a real silver lining Up there for me and you Listen to me Listen to me
Now the country that we're living To be the good old U.S.A. That's right It's never been about keeping you out It's about letting you in And letting you play
So let them be happy Smile right in their face Pretty soon you're going to taking their place
