sammy always used to be happy
he'd wake up early every day
he'd see the world go to work in the morning
and then he'd wait for them all day
and then he'd sit and wait all day

a better life can drag you down
a better life can drag you down
a better life can drag you down
and make you leave without a sound

sammy never used to be sorry
he'd say i'm not great but i'm okay
i'm half a man alright but i'm living
i'm almost gone but i'm still here
i'm almost gone but i'm still here

a better life can drag you down
a better life can drag you down
a better life can drag you down
and make you leave without a sound
