Lyrics They Might Be Giants

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 one 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)
