We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say We're not critics, we just hate it all anyway
[Verse 1] 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
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 2] 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 strung 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
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 3] 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 anyway
[Chorus] 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
