It`s So Easy To Be Sad Lyrics

See the statues in the square

 They almost look alive

 It's amazing after all these years

 How they've survived

 Two young children gazing at them

 Faces so forlorn

 One is saying to the other

 I wonder how they're born

 

 It's funny how we always tend

 To look back on our past

 As if they were the only good times

 That we're ever going to have

 

 See the river heading outwards

 Watch the ships sail in

 Notice how despite their size

 They very rarely sink

 

 Tell the man who's watching with you

 His shoelace is undone

 When he looks pretend you didn't notice

 You were wrong

 

 And anytime there's trouble up ahead

 Don't get into a state

 Where you wish you were dead

 Just take your time and do

 What you believe is right

 It could turn out to be

 A blessing in disguise-disguise-

 

 It's funny how we always tend

 To overlook the bad

 Doesn't anybody know that

 It's so easy to be sad

 

 Talk about doing what you do best

 Seems to me the more you do

 The less you get

 All told I would say that it was pretty grim

 Although on the other hand

 I've got a ring

 

 Mass unemployment's at an all time best

 Why not quit your job and take a well earned rest

 Grow old on the dole

 That's the life I need

 Everybody's doing it so why not me
