Cynics & Critics - Icon For Hire

We’re not cynics, we just don’t believe a word you say

We’re not critics, we just hate it all anyway

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, nevermind

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

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

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

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

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

We’re not cynics, we just don’t believe a word you say

We’re not critics, we just hate it all anyway
