How To Find True Love And Happiness In The Present Day Lyrics

Once I knew a man in love with money
He said it solved his worries and his cares
The one day
I heard him say
Something I hear everywhere


Once I knew a man in love with power
He bought a uniform and he kept it clean
Then one day
I heard him say
There's something he's never seen


Tell him how to find true love and happiness
In the present day

Tell him how to find true love and happiness
In the present day

Then I know a girl in love with living
Didn't like to stay in one place long
Then one day
I heard her say
She'd discovered something's wrong


Tell her how to find true love and happiness
In the present day

Tell her how to find true love and happiness
In the present day


Tell him how to find true love and happiness
In the present day (x3)

The lyric is self-explanatory, except for the fact that the "girl" is actually a pre-op transsexual. Throughout the song "happiness" is pronounced "her penis"!
