Icon For Hire - Cynics & Critics Lyrics
We're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you sayWe're not critics, we just hate it all anyway[Verse 1]If you're happy and you know it clap your hands like thisCause the rest of us are wondering what on earth we missedIf you're happy and you know it stomp your feet real loudThe rest of us could use some cheering up right nowOh please, shoot us up with something shiny and quickWe like our thrills dirt cheap and our irony thickOh whatever, never mind, we're just crying for helpI guess we'll heal the old fashioned way and do it ourselves[Chorus]Oh this is all we knowOh tragic and miserableWe're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you sayWe're not critics, we just hate it all anywayOh this is all we've gotOh we do what we've been taughtWe're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you sayWe're not critics, we just hate it all anyway[Verse 2]Sometimes I think we push your buttons just for funSometimes I think our kind of crazy has already been doneWe're a copy of a copy, everything we swore we'd not beYeah, the truth hurts, but it hasn't strung enough to stop meOh please, can't you give us something better than thisWe've built up a tolerance to all your veteran tricksYou're busy smiling on cue, when you don't have a clueWe're a mess and we know it, we want you to know too[Chorus]Oh this is all we knowOh tragic and miserableWe're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you sayWe're not critics, we just hate it all anywayOh this is all we've gotOh we do what we've been taughtWe're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you sayWe're not critics, we just hate it all anyway[Verse 3]If you're happy and you know it then there might be something wrong withYouWhat's the point in holding on when all of us don't want you toIt'd make us feel better, knowing you'd be stuck foreverSick minds stick together, we can stay sick foreverOh this is all we knowOh tragic and miserableWe're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you sayWe're not critics, we just hate it all anyway[Chorus]Oh this is all we knowOh tragic and miserableWe're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you sayWe're not critics, we just hate it all anywayOh this is all we've gotOh we do what we've been taughtWe're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you sayWe're not critics, we just hate it all anywayWe're not cynics, we just don't believe a word you sayWe're not critics, we just hate it all anyway
