Misery

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
