Die Happy

Close up the candy store
Pull down the blinds
No problems anymore
Everything's fine
Throw out the papers
The colour TV
Don't want no distractions
While I drink my tea
What if the world stops
I wanna die happy
I wanna die happy
I wanna die happy
Pull up a chair
I've got something to say
Wise men and fools
Always end the same way
People are people
For such a short time
Humans are human
Okay never mind
What if a bomb drops
I wanna die happy
I wanna die happy
I wanna die happy
Close up the candy store
Pull down the blinds
Enjoy yourself
Why not have a good time
Humans are human
We make so much mess
Once I care more
Now I couldn't care less
What if the world stops
I wanna die happy
(Look at all the bodies
Dem a rockin' in de dance)
I wanna die happy
(A winy winy like dem
Always in a trance)
I wanna die happy
(Me wan fe step up
But me never get a chance)
I wanna die happy
(But never mind com
Mek we give a second glance)
I wanna die happy
(Me never born yah
So me going freelance)
No complications on my mind
Enjoy myself and have a good time
