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 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 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
