Lyrics for 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)
