Down in the Dumps

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Angry on the outside, angry on the in Disgruntled with the things I see Looking for a future that lies in your hands Is such a bad place to be Educated hippies and psychedelic yups Really get my Irish up I am just a beggar, begging for some money Spare some change to fill my cup [Chorus] It's not so bad, I'm happy as a pig in shit Unlike some puppet of a suit-and-tie chump When anybody wants something from me That's where I'll be—facedown in the dumps [Verse 2] Mercilessly seeking pleasure in my pain The wages set do not increase Can't afford the rent, I'm tossed out in the rain I lost my life and lost my lease Hard times are coming up around the bend It's been that kind of year My battle with the bottle is back with a bang I need a drink, so where's my beer? [Chorus] It's not so bad, I'm happy as a pig in shit Unlike some puppet of a suit-and-tie chump When anybody wants something from me That's where I'll be—facedown in the dumps [Solo] [Chorus] It's not so bad, I'm happy as a pig in shit Unlike some puppet of a suit-and-tie chump When anybody wants something from me That's where I'll be—facedown in the dumps [Outro] Down, down in the dumps
