歌詞
[Verse 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
See the river heading outwards
Watch the ships sail in
Notice how, despite their size
They very rarely sink
[Verse 4]
Tell the man who's watching with you
His shoelace is undone
When he looks, pretend you didn't
Notice you were wrong
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
It's funny how we always tend
To overlook the bad
Doesn't anybody know that
It's so easy to be sad?
[Verse 7]
It's so easy to be sad
It's so easy to be sad
It's so easy to be sad
It's so easy to be sad
It's so easy to be sad
[Verse 8]
Talk about doin' what you do 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
[Verse 9]
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 doin' it, so why not me?
[Verse 10]
It's so easy to be sad
It's so easy to be sad
It's so easy to be sad
It's so easy to be sad
It's so easy to be sad
It's so easy to be sad
