Miserablism Lyrics - Pet Shop Boys

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) 

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 

Miserablism 

Is is and isn't isn't 

Miserablism 

Is is and isn't isn't 

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 

(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 

miserable
