Lyrics:

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 wonderin' 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 cheerin' up right now

Oh, please shoot us up with somethin' shiny and quick
We like our thrills dirt cheap and our irony thick
Oh, whatever, never mind, we're just cryin' 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
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 smilin' 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 somethin' 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 knowin' you'd be stuck forever
Sick minds stick together, we can stay sick forever

(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
