Wax Tailor, Rosemary Standley - Misery lyrics

Misery is my friend
(m- my friend, m- m- my friend)
Misery is my friend
Feel it's time to stop mama
Time to stop mama time to stop mama
Time to stop

Some people seem to be doing well now-a days
Others were unhappy, even worried
About themselves
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
(m- my friend, m- m- my friend)
Misery is my friend
Feel it's time to stop mama
Time to stop mama time 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
(m- my friend, m- m- my friend)
Misery is my friend
Feel it's time to stop mama
Time to stop mama time to stop

Taking care of the strong and
Charity will do the rest
Marke 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
