Are you stuck in a rut
Find yourself lacking creativity
A bad case of writers block
You're not as clever as you think you used to be
Well I've got a solution
One that you're gonna love
It's a time-tested and true method
For really rising above
You just need a dose of misery
Throw away everything that might be true
Yeah it worked for me
Perhaps it could work for you
You just need a dose of misery
Throw away everything that might be true
Yeah it worked for me
And I bet it could work for you
Have you tried a divorce
Maybe start out with an affair or two
Develop a drinking habit
Argue viciously 'til all your friends hate you
Have meaningless "relationships"
F*ck 'em and just throw them away
Then fill up the hollow emptiness inside
With all the cunning things you say
You just need a dose of misery
Throw away everything that might be true
Yeah it worked for me
Perhaps it could work for you
You just need a dose of misery
Throw away everything that might be true
Yeah it worked for me
And I bet it could work for you
When you're down in the darkness
Visualizing suicide
You'll know the most brilliant creatives
Do their best work
When there's nothing left to hide
You just need a dose of misery
Throw away everything that might be true
Yeah it worked for me
Perhaps it could work for you
You just need a dose of misery
Throw away everything that might be true
Yeah it worked for me
And I bet it could work for you
