Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

1.

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 soluion is

Getting others involved

So they surround themselves with happy people

And watch their smiles dissolve

Chorus

 We just drag them down

 We just drag them down

 We just drag them down

Until they're just like us.

2.

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

Chorus

Cause we just drag them down

We just drag them down

We just drag them down

 Until they're just like us.

Bridge

 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

Chorus

That we just drag you down

We just drag you down

We just drag you down

Until you're just like us.

3.

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.

All the happy people's biggest problem is

Never fearing the worst

All the rest of us will never sleep until

Your happy bubbles are burst

Chorus

We just drag you down

Didn’t I just drag you down

We just drag you down

 Until you're just like us.

Oh, Until you’re just like us

Till you’re just like us
