Lyrics:Why Must I Be Sad?

From This Might Be A Wiki
Why Must I Be Sad?
By: They Might Be Giants
Written: 1994
"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 Freezing" / "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)
