You just stood there screaming
 Fearing no one was listening to you
 They say the empty can rattles the most
 The sound of your voice must soothe you
 Hearing only what you want to hear
 And knowing only what you've heard
 You, you're smothered in tragedy
 You're out to save the world
   [Chorus:]
   Misery
   You insist that the weight of the world
   Should be on your shoulders
   Misery
   There's much more to life than what you see
   My friend of misery
 
 You still stood there screaming
 No one caring about these words you tell
 My friend before your voice is gone
 One man's fun is another's hell
 These times are sent to try men's souls
 But something's wrong with all you see
 You    you'll take it on all yourself
 Remember, misery loves company
   [Chorus]
 
 You just stood there creaming
 My friend of misery
