Lyrics

Makes you feel much older Sublime the blind parade It wrecks me how they justify their acts of war They assemble, they pray Take good care of what the priests say After death, it's so much fun Little sheep, don't let your feet stray Happiness is easy (joy be written on the earth) And the sky above Jesus, star that shines so bright Gather us in love Guilt upon their shoulders How well the cause evades Infecting your religions, claiming pacts It's easy to shoulder the blame Happiness is easy (Jesus came to Galilee) Happiness is easy (sailing on the sea) Happiness is easy (Jesus came to save our souls) Happiness is easy (and be a friend to me) Try to teach my children To recognise excuse before it acts From love and conviction to pray Take good care of what the priests say After death, it's so much fun Little sheep, don't let your feet stray Happiness is easy Jesus came to Galilee Sailing on the sea Jesus came to save our souls And be a friend to me Jesus came to Galilee Sailing on the sea Jesus came to save our souls And be a friend to me Joy be written on the earth And the sky above Jesus, star that shines so bright Gather us in love Gather us in love
