Lyrics Why Must I Be Sad? - They Might Be Giants

Why Must I Be Sad?

No More Mister Nice Guy
I Love the Dead
I’ve been thinking about it
Now I understand what he said
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)
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
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)
No More Mister Nice Guy
I Love the Dead
I’ve been thinking about it
Now I understand what he said
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?
(Welcome to my nightmare/Dead)
Why must I be sad?
(Babies / Raped and Freezin' / You)
Why must I be sad?
(Drive Me Nervous / Elected /)
Why must I be sad?
(Generation Landslide / Un)
Why must I be sad?
(der 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, sad)
(sad, sad)
