Morning after morning, day after day,
Life goes on in the same old way,
No variation, or so it seems,
Sometimes we realise our nightmares, not our dreams,

Oh, it's sad,
Whoa, it's so sad,
When someone says they found the answer, you tell him you're not really doing that bad.

They're trying to buy Heaven right here on Earth,
The cost will always end up more than it's worth,
You ponder living, you wonder why,
No matter what you do, you're still going to die.

Oh, it's sad, (it's so sad)
Whoa, it's so sad, (it's so sad)
When someone says they found the answer, you tell him you're not really doing that bad. (it's so sad)

Guilt is in your conscience, pain in your soul,
Feels like you're falling down a deep dark hole,
You drink that whiskey, and you smoke that pot,
Well, twenty more years; what in Hell have you got'

Oh, it's sad, (it's so sad)
Yeah, yeah, it's so sad, (it's so sad)
When someone says they found the answer, you tell him you're not really doing that bad, (it's so sad)
When someone says they found the answer, you tell him you're not really doing that bad, (it's so sad)
When Jesus says that he's the answer, you tell him you don't really need him that bad.
