| A | C#m | |
| That's the problem, dear, with | angry people, they |
| D | E | |
| Try to go it a | lone |
| 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) |
| Bm | E | |
| We just | drag them down |
| Bm | E | |
| We just | drag them down |
| Bm | E | |
| We just | drag them down |
| N.C. A C#m D E A C#m D E |
| 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 |
| A (carries through to bridge) |
| Until they're just like us. |
| (Bridge) |
| A | C#m | D | |
| I am the | singer in the | band |
| F#m | E | A | |
| We're only | trying to | lend a | hand |
| C#m | D | |
| And though it's | not what we had | planned |
| E | |
| We unders | tand |
| (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 |
| A | C#m | D | |
| Until you're just | like us. |
| Dm | Bm | E | |
| Oh, Until you're just l | ike us |
| N.C. |
| Till you're just like us |
| Ending: N.C. - - - |
