Transposer:

[Verse 1] I know I’m unhappy I know things aren’t right For instance last week I got drunk every night [Verse 2] I know that I’m angry I know I’m afraid I rarely make love I mostly get laid [Verse 3] I know I’m unhealthy No doctor would doubt My dreams are all bad and; my hairs falling out     [Chorus] When you get the blues and; you want to shoot yourself in the head It’s alright it’s alright Go ahead Do the monkey do the pony Do the slop do the boogaloo twist Cut your throat Cut your throat Cut your wrist [Middle 8] When you tire of wordly toil Shuffle off this mortal coil Turn your body back to soil It’s OK It’s OK [Chorus] When you get hung up Hang yourself up by the neck What the hell what the hell what the heck stomp on the moon and spit in the ocean razzmatazz and I love you      holy smokes and land negotiation you can do anything that you want to do you can sing four songs you can dance ten dances eat twelve candies drink eight beers break two rules and take six chances laugh nine laughs and shed three tears eat that watermelon drink that moonshine she’s the lady and you’re the lord a mail pouch chew will keep you in line drive all over in her grandaddy’s ford small talk big talk hugs and kisses strum a little number on the big guitar if you want to charm the bonnet off your mrs. go out and catch a firefly stick him in a jar Ooh! take off her clothes and throw her in the river wash her body and stick it in the sun give that gal everything you can give her you can give her the bullets if you can give her the gun

Cette chanson aborde des thèmes de désespoir et de désillusion. Le narrateur exprime son mal-être en reconnaissant ses déboires personnels, comme l'alcoolisme, la colère, et un état de santé dégradé. Dans un mélange de sarcasme et d'ironie, il évoque des pensées sombres, tout en proposant des distractions et des manières de se divertir malgré la souffrance. Il met en avant les absurdités de la vie, tout en cherchant un sens à partir de l'absurde. Dans un contexte plus large, cette œuvre reflète une lutte intérieure que beaucoup peuvent ressentir face aux défis de la vie moderne. C’est un cri de désespoir qui juxtapose l'humour et le tragique, illustrant comment des moments de gaieté peuvent surgir même des pires situations.
