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 over night Say that love is an impossible dream Face the facts, that's what it's always been Relax, what you see is what you've seen 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 on 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 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 Miserable
