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 

And 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 



That 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 (HEY!) 

While a million other happy people 

Are trying hard not to care (BACK OFF!) 

You see, the happy people's biggest problem 

Is they're never fearing the worst 

While the rest of us will never sleep until 

Your happy bubbles are burst 



Yeah, we just drag them down 

Didn't I just drag you down 

Just watch me drag you down 

Until you're just like us 

Until you're just like us 

Oh, until you're just like us 

Until you're just like us
