Jade Bird – I Get No Joy lyrics

[Verse 1]
Military march
In and out my head
Everything I did
Everything I said
Take you to the arch
For your happiness
Or spend it like a lark
Singing for nothing

[Chorus]
I get no joy
I get no joy
All the words my mother said
Can't seem to get them out my head
Everything becomes everything
You live, you learn, you love, you're dead
I get no joy

[Verse 2]
Together and apart
Do it all again
Right back to the start
Straight up to the end
I'm such a fool
Got everything and you
Yet my heart is so blue
I'm singing for nothing


[Chorus]
I get no joy
I get no joy
All the words my mother said
Can't seem to get them out my head
Everything becomes everything
You live, you learn, you love, you're dead
I get no joy

[Verse 3]
I swear that I don't pay attention
If I did, would intervention come to me in a dream?
Or is that just what the directors and the pills and
Other deflectors would have you believe?
Psychotic, hypnotic, erotic; which box is your thing?
Fact how many days a week
Do you feel
Electric, connected, unexpectedly affected?
What do you need?
What do you need?

[Chorus]
I get no joy
I get no joy
All the words my mother said
Can't seem to get them out my head
Everything becomes everything
You live, you learn, you love, you're dead
I get no joy

[Bridge]
I know the sun will shine
Another day another time
I know the sun will shine
Another day another time
I know the sun will shine
I know the sun will shine
Electric, connected, unexpectedly affected
What do you need?
What do you need?

[Chorus]
I get no joy
I get no joy
All the words my mother said
Can't seem to get them out my head
Everything becomes everything
You live, you learn, you love, you're dead
I get no joy
I get no joy

[Outro]
No joy
