Miserablism

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

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)

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

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

Saying life is an impossible scheme

That's the point of this philosophy

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

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

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

"Oh, no!"

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

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)

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't

Miserablism

Is is and isn't isn't
