[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
