Miserablism

[Verse 1]

It seems to me there's something serious beginning

A new approach found to the meaning of life

Deny that happiness is open as an option

And disappointment disappears overnight

[Pre-Chorus]

Say that love is an impossible dream

Face the facts, that's what it's always been

Relax, what you see is what you see

And what you get is a new philosophy

(That's what you got, that's what you get)

(That's what you got, that's what you get)

[Chorus]

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

[Verse 2]

Meanwhile your life is still directed as a drama

With realism in the sparsest of sets

Every performance tends to reach the same conclusion

No happy endings but a message to depress

[Pre-Chorus]

Saying life is an impossible scheme

That's the point of this philosophy

[Chorus]

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

[Bridge]

But if 'is' wasn't, and 'isn't' were

You can't be sure, but you might find ecstasy

[Interlude]

"Oh, no!"

[Verse 3]

Just for the sake of it make sure you're always frowning

(Angst! Angst! Angst!)

It shows the world that you've got substance and depth

[Pre-Chorus]

You know life is an impossible scheme

And love an imperceptible dream

(That's what you got, that's what you get)

(That's what you got, that's what you get)

[Chorus]

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

[Chorus]

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

[Chorus]

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

[Outro]
