lyrics

Everyone poke the bear
Install fluorescent lights to keep him up and night
And tie him to a chair.
And trim his beard and comb his hair,
And dilute all of the things he was
Until he's no longer there.

And the new improved model will be pleasant, bright and fair.
And those who knew him previously will all be made aware
That "this is probably what he wanted, we know that secretly he cared;
He just needed a push to get over being scared."

Misery loves company, so we go hand in hand all day.
Misery's my currency, it helps me pay my way
And I'll commodify my sadness 'til I can drink it all away,
And everything will finally be okay.

Buy yourself a house, fill it with your things
And buy a lifestyle you've never needed
To make yourself feel like a king.
Though your castle walls are very thin,
The screaming neighbours help to drown the silence
That has settled in.

When you're looking at each other, trying to think of anything
That you can say that will not make her sad, or cut too deep, or sting.
"We were going to be different, but now we're just turning with the spin,
And it's too late to find a new way to begin".

Misery loves company, so we go hand in hand all day.
Misery's my currency, it helps me pay my way
And I'll commodify my sadness 'til I can drink it all away,
And everything will finally be okay.

Well make your fortune, have some kids and give them more than they could need
Until they're spoiled, fat and rotten and filled with insatiable greed,
And if all this makes you feel guilty, just change the settings on your feed
Because you can't worry about suffering you can't see.

Misery loves company, so we go hand in hand all day.
Misery's my currency, it helps me pay my way
And I'll commodify my sadness 'til I can drink it all away,
And everything will finally be okay.
