Why Must I Be Sad Lyrics

    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)
    (sad, sad, sad)
    (sad, sad, sad)
    (sad, sad)
