cynics & critics

we're not cynics

we just don't believe a word you say

we're not critics

we just hate it all anyway

if you're happy and you know it

clap you hands like this

'cause the rest of us are wondering

what on earth we missed

if you're happy and you know it

stomp your feet real loud

the rest of us could use some cheering up right now

oh please

shoot us up

with something shiny and quick

we like our thrills dirt cheap

and our irony thick

oh whatever

never mind

we're just crying for help

i guess we'll heal the old fashioned way

and do it ourselves

oh this is all we know

oh tragic and miserable

we're not cynics

we just don't believe a word you say

we're not critics

we just hate it all anyway

oh this is all we've got

oh we do what we've been taught

we're not cynics

we just don't believe a word you say

we're not critics

we just hate it all anyway

sometimes i think we push your buttons just for fun

sometimes i think our kind of crazy has already been done

we're a copy of a copy

everything we swore we'd not be

yeah

the truth hurts

but it hasn't stung enough to stop me

oh please

can't you give us

something better than this

we've built up a tolerance

to all your veteran tricks

you're busy smiling on cue

when you don't have a clue

we're a mess and we know it

we want you to know too

oh this is all we know

oh tragic and miserable

we're not cynics

we just don't believe a word you say

we're not critics

we just hate it all anyway

oh this is all we've got

oh we do what we've been taught

we're not cynics

we just don't believe a word you say

we're not critics

we just hate it all anyway

if you're happy and you know it

then there might be something wrong with you

what's the point in holding on

when all of us don't want you to

it'd make us feel better

knowing you'd be stuck forever

sick minds stick together

we can stay sick forever

oh this is all we know

oh tragic and miserable

we're not cynics

we just don't believe a word you say

we're not critics

we just hate it all

oh this is all we know

oh tragic and miserable

we're not cynics

we just don't believe a word you say

we're not critics

we just hate it all anyway

oh this is all we've got

oh we do what we've been taught

we're not cynics

we just don't believe a word you say

we're not critics

we just hate it all anyway

we're not cynics

we just don't believe a word you say

we're not critics

we just hate it all anyway
