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

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)
