I got the 3rd highest grade in the class
My medal wasn't gold, only brass
I haven't made it to the top just yet
People still call me "Teacher's Pet"
When you look at my grades all you say is "Wow"
I wish you would tell me that you were happy now.
I punish myself when I'm not good
I thought you would be happy, I thought I could
Make up for anything I've done wrong
Perhaps I just don't belong
in this family--in this herd of cows I am
Merely the sow. I still wanna know,
Are you happy now?
I'm beautiful in black, my skin is fair
I even have little pink roses in my hair
Everyone says I look so pretty
But I know they're saying it out of pity
Pity that you both have one less daughter
The woes of depression had finally caught her
I lay here now, still in my casket
Death has another worthless weed in his basket
Now it's time for prayer, now it's time to bow
Tell me, please tell me that you're happy now.
Are You Happy Now?
