Lets all be sad for a moment

And try really hard

To imagine what it’d be like

If it was hard to smile

But of course, that really isn’t very hard to imagine.

Lets all be sad for a moment

And give a sad, sad smile

And pretend that it’s just for a moment,

And that moment will soon pass

And we’ll all be happy again

But of course, we all know, that really isn’t true.

Let’s all be sad for a moment

And pretend we’re concerned

That somebody’s friend of somebody’s

Has recently passed away

And we aren’t so caught up with our work

That even the slightest pity we are unable to conjure

Then again, that would be pretty impossible to do.

Let’s all be sad for a moment

And pretend we don’t have homework

And try really hard

To imagine what it’d be like

If we had a lot of homework

Of course, that’d be a really easy thing to do.

Let’s all be sad for a moment

And pretend that we were happy

And that is the most impossible thing to do.
