If you’re happy and you know it stomp your feet real loud The rest of 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 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 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 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 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
