You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what you've heard
You're smothered in tragedy
And you're up to save the world

Misery, you insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery, there's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

You still stood there screaming
No one caring about these words you tell
My friend, before your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
These times were meant to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You, you'll take it on all yourself
Remember, misery loves company

Misery, you insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery, there's much more to life than what you see
My friend, my friend of misery

You insist that the weight of the world
Be on your shoulders
Oh, my friend of misery, there's so much more to life than what you see
My friend, my friend of misery

My friend, my friend, my friend, my friend
My friend, my friend, my friend, my friend
My friend, my friend, my friend, my friend
Of misery

Oh, you just stood there
You just stood there screaming, oh misery
You just stood there screaming, oh misery
Oh, my friend, oh, my friend, oh, of misery
My friend of misery
You just stood there screaming, screaming
My friend of misery
You just stood there screaming
My friend of misery
You just stood there screaming, screaming
My friend, my friend of misery, misery
My friend, my friend, my friend, my friend of
My friend of misery
