Too many screamers
Wearing a mask
Too many dreamers
Looking for the ones that last
Too many eyes
Looking for hope
Too many tears
Looking for a way to cope
It's no joke
Chorus:
It's just a sad song
Before too long, yeah
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long
Too many thoughts
Breaking your stride
Too many Jekylls
Feeling like a Mr. Hyde
Too many clouds
Darken your day
Too many raindrops
Falling on your thunder babe
Every day
Chorus X2
Too many heartaches
Waiting to strike
Too many clowns
Saying everything's all right
Too many fires
Scorching your mind
Too many preachers
Saying what you should find
?
Chorus
Wearing a mask
Too many dreamers
Looking for the ones that last
Looking for hope
Too many tears
Looking for a way to cope
It's just a sad song
Before too long, yeah
It's just a sad song
And it won't take long
Breaking your stride
Too many Jekylls
Feeling like a Mr. Hyde
Darken your day
Too many raindrops
Falling on your thunder babe
Waiting to strike
Too many clowns
Saying everything's all right
Scorching your mind
Too many preachers
Saying what you should find

Frontman Ric Ocasek explained the inspiration for the song in an interview with Spinner UK: "That song's a little bit topical, I guess. The lyrics in the song, it's all about 'heartache's waiting to strike' and 'too many screamers wearing a mask,' which is all kind of a sad scenario. But it's got happy music and a happy melody. It's almost like 'Just What I Needed,' where you're looking for someone to bleep and you don't realize the song is not really that positive. Sometimes it's just subconsciously things pull you in. It can be a sad song that pulls you in subconsciously. The lyrics to 'Sad Song' are a sad state of affairs and you just get pulled along with them all. Maybe it's media, maybe it's the general ambiance of life."
One voice among many - forgive me if I take too long - but yes, this world has much sadness. This world is controlled by those who think like Mr. Hyde. In addition,there are so many who refuse to acknowledge our problems.
I looooooooooooove this song!!!
The first song I listened from this band, and I was surprised at just how much I loved them and the completely correct song and lyrics. Many people do stay focus on the bad side of things and refuse to see what truly should matter. I love this song.
I really love the tune of this song...makes me want to dance but I can relate to lyrics a lot too. Has to be one of my favorite songs on the album.
