Miserablism

Miserablism - Pet Shop Boys

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
