True Happiness in the New Millennium (2016 edit)

Janet Kuypers
written 2/98, edited 6/23/16 and 6/24/16

“The only true happiness this way lies”
                                                                - Matt Johnson


I’m here to usher in a whole new millennium
I’m the new savior
the savior of science, the savior of survival
survival of the fittest, survival of the best
and I’m here to tell you we’re starting anew
so fasten your seat belts
place your seat trays in their upright and locked position
for it’s a bumpy ride, and I’ll tell you why

I’m here to usher in a whole new millennium
the millennium of reason and logic and strength
you need a leader and I’m stepping up to the plate
you keep asking for a big brother and I’m here to set you straight
you want someone to wipe your noses for you
well, pick up the tissue and do it yourself
because when you give up your rights, you take away mine
and we’re not having any of that

I’m here to usher in a whole new millennium

they say that Eve ate from the tree from knowledge
but you know, she shouldn’t have stopped just there
because you know it’s now time to take it all back
and I’m here to tell you how it’s gonna be done

stop asking for things and start working for things
you’re looking for peace in all the wrong places
you’re asking your leaders to save you from yourself
but your leaders are losers and they’re worse off than you

it’s time to make choices and it’s time to lay claim
to everything we’ve been blindly giving away
because I’m here to usher in a whole new millennium
take charge of yourself, and I’ll take charge of me
I’m my leader, not yours, so wipe your own noses

take it in to your hands, people, mold your own tools
this is the new millennium, and this is your chance
because no one should be showing us how to fail
people mastered that feat a millennia ago

I’m here to usher in a whole new millennium
And I’m waiting for you to usher in yours
Because the only true happiness this way lies
