See the statues in the square, they almost look alive
It's amazing after all these years, how they've survived
Two young children gazing at them, faces so forlorn
One is saying to the other, I wonder how they're born

It's funny how we always tend to look back on our past
As if they were the only good times that we're ever going to have

See the river heading outwards, watch the ships sail in
Notice how despite their size they very rarely sink
Tell the man who's watching with you, his shoelace is undone
When he looks pretend you didn't notice you were wrong

And anytime there's trouble up ahead
Don't get into a state where you wish you were dead
Just take your time and do what you believe is right
It could turn out to be a blessing in disguise, disguise

It's funny how we always tend to overlook the bad

It's so easy to be sad, it's so easy to be sad
It's so easy to be sad, it's so easy to be sad
It's so easy, it's so easy, it's so easy to be sad

Talk about doing what you do do best
Seems to me the more you do, the less you get
All told I would say that it was pretty grim
Although on the other hand I've got a ring

Mass unemployment's at an all time best
Why not quit your job and take a well earned rest
Grow old on the dole that's the life I need
Everybody's doing it so why not me

It's so easy to be sad, it's so easy to be sad
It's so easy to be sad, it's so easy to be sad
It's so easy, it's so easy, it's so easy to be sad
