Barenaked Ladies 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
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
