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      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   While a million other happy people   Are trying hard not to care      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   Until you're just like us   Until you're just like us
