Lyrics Misery - Wax Tailor , Rosemary Standley

Misery is my friend
My friend, m-my friend
Misery is my friend
Try to stop me, momma
Try to stop me, momma
Try to stop
Some people seem to be doing well nowadays
Others were unhappy, or even worried
About themselves, and their families, and their futures
There are more poor than ever
More families in trouble
More and more people who need help but can't find it
People who sleep in the city streets
Misery is my friend
In the city streets
Misery is my friend
Misery is my friend
My friend, m-my friend
Misery is my friend
Try to stop me, momma
Try to stop me, momma
Try to stop
There are ghettos where thousands of young people
Without a job or an education
Give their lives away (lives away) every day
Survival of the fittest
There is despair in the faces that you don't see
There is despair in the places that you don't visit
In the city streets
Misery is my friend
In the city streets
Misery is my friend
Misery is my friend
My friend, m-my friend
Misery is my friend
Try to stop me, momma
Try to stop me, momma
Try to stop
Taking care of the strong and charity will do the rest
Make the rich richer, and what falls from the table will be enough
It's an old story
This is how we were warned it would be
Remember this
This is how we were warned it would be (try to stop)
Remind ourselves where we come from
