I've Got the Joy

"I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart
Down in my heart
Down in my heart
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart
Down in my heart, yes Lord!"

When did these songs
Cease to be?
When did we have to grow up
From the simple truths
Contained in childhood melodies?

Because I'm trying to find peace,
But I can't find it
In the breathy, pop-esque
"Wish I was a famous as Katy Perry"
Singers that think they can sing
"O Holy Night" and cater to P!nk.

no

I can't find peace
In this world that thinks
It's God-forsaken.
Isn't it a shame
That the adults in control
Don't know didly squat.

"If the devil doesn't like it
He can sit on a tack!
Sit on a tack!
Sit on a tack!
If the devil doesn't like it
He can sit on a tack!
Sit on a tack to stay!
