My mother says I’m great / And it always makes me sad / I don’t think she’s being nice / I really think she believes that / So now I bend my days around the people, other people obey / Whoah / So sad it’s nothing, happiness depends on who you blame • I gather things can change / So maybe she’s asleep in her grave / She gave her body to science / So I’m not sure what’s in her place / Maybe roses or Tanqueray™ • So sad it’s nothing, happiness depends on who you blame • I know the dead still listen / She sings a part of every refrain / Under the weight of the living pointing a finger with no eyes to aim whoah • So sad it’s nothing, it’s absolutely nothing / So sad it’s nothing, it’s absolutely nothing / So sad it’s nothing, happiness depends on who you blame
