cynics critics

Icon For Hire

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 your 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 copy of the 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
Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway

If you re happy and you know it
That there might be something wrong with you
What s the point in holding on
When all of us don t want you too
It d make us feel better
Knowing you d be stuck forever
Sick minds sick 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
