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
