Cynics & Critics

[Intro] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] Oh, please shoot us up With something shiny and quick We like our thrills dirt-cheap And our irony thick Oh, whatever, nevermind 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 Yea, the truth hurts, but it hasn't stung enough to stop me [Pre-Chorus 2] Oh, please can't you give us Something better than this We've built up a tolerance To all of 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 [Bridge] 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 [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 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 [Outro] We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you say We're not critics, we just hate it all anyway
