Icon For Hire - Cynics And Critics

Intro:
(Synth/Computer)
We’re not cynics we just don’t believe a word you say, we’re not critics we just hate it all anyway.

Verse 1:
Cm
If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands like this
Ab Bb
Cause the rest of us are wondering what on earth we’ve missed.
Cm
If you’re happy and you know it stomp your feet real loud
Ab Bb
The rest of could use some cheering up right now
Cm
Oh please, shoot us up with something shiny and quick
Ab Bb
We like our thrills dirt cheap and our irony thick
Cm
Oh whatever, never mind, we’re just crying for help
Ab Bb
I guess we’ll heal the old fashioned way and do it ourselves

Chorus:
Cm Ab
Oh this is all we know, oh tragic and miserable
Eb
We’re not cynics, we just don’t believe a word you say
Bb
We’re not critics, we just hate it all anyway
Cm Ab
Oh this is all we’ve got, oh we do what we’ve been taught
Eb
We’re not cynics, we just don’t believe a word you say
Bb
We’re not critics, we just hate it all anyway

Verse 2:
Cm
Sometimes I think we push your buttons just for fun
Ab Bb
Sometimes I think our kind of crazy has already been done
Cm
We’re a copy of a copy, everything we swore we’d not be
Ab Bb
Yeah, the truth hurts, but it hasn’t stung enough to stop me
Cm
Oh please, can’t you give us something better than this
Ab Bb
we’ve built up a tolerance to all your veteran tricks
Cm
you’re busy smiling on cue, when you don’t have a clue
Ab Bb
we’re a mess and we know it, we want you to know too

Oh this is all we know, oh tragic and miserable

Bridge:
Cm
if you’re happy and you know it then there might be something wrong with you
Cm
what’s the point in holding on when all of us don’t want you to
Cm
it’d make us feel better, knowing you’d be stuck forever
Ab Bb
sick minds stick together we can stay sick forever
