Lyrics

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 overnight

Say that love
Is an impossible dream
Face the facts
That's what it's always been
Relax
What you see is what you see
And 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

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 (angst, angst, angst)
It shows the world that you've got substance and depth

You know life
Is an impossible scheme
And love
An imperceptible dream
