DESCRIPTION:
The song "It's So Sad" from The 77's debut album, Ping Pong Over The Abyss, released in 1983 with Exit Records. A very bizarre (but still quite listenable) song, The 77's have never done another quite like it. I'd definitely classify this song as "early installment weirdness."

LYRICS:
Morning after morning
Day after day
Life goes on
In the same old way
No variation
Or so it seems
Sometimes we realize
Our nightmares
Not our dreams

It's sad
It's so sad
When someone says they
Found the answer
You tell him you're
Not really doing
That bad

Trying to buy heaven
Right here on earth
The cost will always end up
More than it's worth
You ponder living
You wonder why
No matter what you do
You're still going to die

Chorus

(background voices, "These guys are crazy!")

G... U... I... L... t-t-t-t-t
Guilt is in your conscience

P... A... I... N...
Pain in your soul

AAAHH OOOGHH

Seems like you're falling
Falling down a deep dark hooooooooooole

You drink good whiskey
You smoke good pot
Twenty more years
What in hell have you got?

Chorus
When Jesus tells you he's the answer
you tell him you don't really need him that baaaaaaad!?
