Angry People lyrics
That’s the problem, dear, with angry people
They try to go it alone
Digging in and making cranky, feeble pleas
That other angries disown
Angry people think a good solution
Is getting others involved
So they surround themselves with happy people
And watch their smiles dissolve
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
Until they’re just like us
Angry people get so sanctimonious
Telling us what to do
Hoping no one outs them all as phonies
Just ’cause we are all phonies too
Those of us who once had wives and families
Understand what I mean
What was once a calm and peaceful refuge
Is overtaken by spleen
’Cause we just drag them down
We just drag them down
We just drag them down
Until they’re just like us
I am the singer in the band
We’re only trying to lend a hand
And though it’s not what we had planned
We understand
We just drag you down
We just drag you down
We just drag you down
Until you’re just like us
In a square a thousand angry people
Are waving signs in the air
While a million other happy people
Are trying hard not to care
You see, the happy people’s biggest problem is
Never fearing the worst
While the rest of us will never sleep until
Your happy bubbles are burst
Now, we just drag them down
Tonight just drag you down
Just watch me drag you down
Until you’re just like us
