Don't you feel bad?
Don't you feel sad?
Don't you feel bad
Don't you feel sad

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I'm walking down
A spiral staircase
That never ends
It only bends
And then descends
Into a deep and dark
Lonely place
With no exit

No matter how hard I try
I can't reverse the trend
It never ends
It only bends
And then descends
Into a deep and dark
And lonely place
A cul de sac
That doesn't look back

I have no idea how I got here
I don't know how to get out of here either
I'm in a pickle not of my own making
Nonetheless I have to bring home the bacon

The brokenhearted have my attention
For I find myself one of them
I'm amazed so many of us get out of bed
With hostile winds swirling about our heads

Optimism makes my neck sore
Sad movies make me feel somehow less sad

Don't you feel bad?
Don't you feel sad?
Don't you feel bad
Don't you feel bad for everybody?

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

He and she
They and we
You and me

I wish we all had more money
Then maybe some of this would be funny
I miss my long lost buddy
He was a funny fuddy duddy

I feel bad for the distance runner
I'm afraid his loneliness
Has been
Interrupted

Don't you feel bad?
Don't you feel sad?
Don't you feel bad?
Don't you feel bad for everybody

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I feel bad for widows
The blue they feel
Is now theirs alone

I feel bad for people with back pain
Their futures are
Drenched in black rain

I feel bad for people
Oh so lonely
Walking on black ice
They cannot see
Don't you feel bad
Don't you feel sad?
Don't you feel bad?
Don't you feel sad for everybody?

I feel bad for the timid among us
I'm afraid they have reason to feel that way
I feel bad for the lovelorn
If only they could blow their own horns

I feel bad for our children
And the earth they walk on
I feel bad for the sad among us
They deserve their own song

I feel bad for those who feel bad
It's been a while but I miss my mom and dad

Don't you feel bad?
Don't you feel sad?
Don't you feel bad?
Don't you feel sad for everybody?

Who-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
He and she
They and we
You and me
