They Might Be Giants
Why Must I Be Sad?
[Verse 1]
No More Mister Nice Guy
I Love the Dead
I've been thinking about it
Now I understand what he said
[Chorus]
Ask me now, I understand the words that Alice said
I kick the rocks beneath me, I squint at the sun
Sad, sad, sad, sad, why must I be sad?
The rows of dandelions growing all around me
Why must I be sad? (Sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad)
[Verse 2]
No one knows these things but me and him
So I'm writing everything down in a spiral notebook
In the hopes that some day
Other people will feel as low as this
[Chorus]
Ask me now, I understand the words that Alice said
I kick the rocks beneath me, I squint at the sun
Sad, sad, sad, sad, why must I be sad?
The rows of dandelions growing all around me
Why must I be sad? (Sad, sad, sad)
[Verse 1]
No More Mister Nice Guy
I Love the Dead
I've been thinking about it
Now I understand what he said
[Chorus]
Ask me now, I understand the words that Alice said
I kick the rocks beneath me, I squint at the sun
Sad, sad, sad, sad, why must I be sad?
The rows of dandelions growing all around me
Why must I be sad?
[Outro]
Welcome to My Nightmare, Dead Babies
Why must I be sad?
Raped and Freezin', You Drive Me Nervous
Why must I be sad?
Elected, Generation Landslide
Why must I be sad?
Under My Wheels, Muscle of Love
Why must I be sad?
School's Out, Only Women Bleed
Why must I be sad?
Billion Dollar Babies
Why must I be sad?
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad sad
