When I was a kid, I (of course) knew of this song, but in a low-level background sort of way. All I knew of the lyrics were the chorus.
I distinctly remember the first time that I actually listened to the non-chorus parts of the song. The realization that not only is this not a happy song, but in fact is as far as songs get from "happy song", struck with a mighty blow.
