This arrangement of Happy Little Chill Pill includes lyrics from the original Get Real by Paul Rutherford, fused with my own.

Listen to Get Real by Paul Rutherford

Are you happy
Are you high
Are you happy
(Go harder)
Are you high
(Go harder)
Are you happy
(Go harder)
Are you high
(Go harder)
.
Go harder
Go harder
Go harder
.
(Go hard)
Go harder
(Go hard)
Go harder
(Go hard)
Go harder
.
So much anger and rage
So much judgement and shame
Way too hateful a place
For pure love to remain
Is it any wonder
We are doubled up in pain
Could it be
We doth protest too much
And thus grow out of touch
With what it is we’re truly up against
(What it is we’re truly up against)
.
So much to begrudge
As we trudge through our mazes
Feeling hemmed in
And left pending for ages
Waiting for epiphany
To dawn new age of chivalry
Giddy from the turn of burning pages
Giddy from the turn of burning pages
Giddy from the turn of burning pages
.
It, it must get lonely out there
You, you are your own best friend
You, you thought you had it all
You, you had nothing at all yeah
.
Hurting for the answers
To divert recurring phases
Questioning the certainty of urgency to change things
Taking head count nervously with no one to explain things
Colder when we should be getting warmer
(Go harder)
Painted into corners
Framed in such a way as to accentuate the vacancy of space to breathe between the latent squeeze of borders
.
Don’t let them get you down
Get up and stand your ground get real
(Go harder)
(You)
Don’t let them get you down
Get up and stand your ground get real
(Go harder)
(You)
.
Elevator
Out of order
Only stairwell left
To fare well dressed in gown
Weighed down by mortar
Drowning in our own rainwater
.
Don’t let them get you down
Get up and stand your ground get real
(Go harder)
(Drowning in our own rainwater)
.
(Go harder)
.
All to play for
Less to stay for
Thoughts on course to further falter
Fraught with worry
Guilt
Remorse
Each drop spilled decays the altar
Could it be
Our need to seethe
Relates to legislative order
Could it be
We’re headed for that fall
.
Would it be obscene
To bid reprieve
To leave of willing
(Go harder)
Live and breathe
Less dithering
For giving in’s for wimps
Submissive gimps
Chimps
Chumps
And frumps
In dirty linen
.
Giving in’s for wimps
Submissive gimps
Chimps
Chumps
And frumps
In dirty linen
.
Don’t let them get you down
Get up and stand your ground get real
(Go harder)
(You)
Don’t let them get you down
Get up and stand your ground get real
(Go harder)
(You)
.
Winning isn’t everything
As sinning isn’t strictly aimed at losers
(Go harder)
Some of us are beggars
Others better placed as
Better placed as
Better placed as
Better placed as choosers
(Go harder)
.
(Go harder)
.
Use us up and wear us out
We’ll still find stuff to care about
More than enough to share about
Once we retouch our whereabouts
(Once we retouch our whereabouts)
(Once we retouch our whereabouts)
(Go harder)
.
Whatever doubts we have and hold
Are ours alone to harbour
Every demon scheming
Seen in glow of candelabra
Coming soon
The fight to light the way to going farther
Go hard
Go home
And when it feels you’re all alone
Go harder
Go hard
Go home
And when it feels you’re all alone
Go harder
.
Go harder
(You)
Go hard
Go harder
(You)
Go harder
Go hard
Go harder
.
Whatever doubts we have and hold
Are ours alone to harbour
Every demon scheming
Seen in glow of candelabra
Coming soon
The fight to light the way to going farther
Go hard
Go home
And when it feels you’re all alone
Go harder
.
Go hard
Go home
And when it feels you’re all alone
Go harder
.
Go hard
Go home
And when it feels you’re all alone
Go harder
.
Get real
(Go harder)
.
Get real
(Go harder)
.
Get real (repeat to fade)
.
