Lyrics

(One, two
One, two, three, four)

They say misery
Loves company
We could start a company
And make misery

Frustrated Incorporated

Well, I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what you pay to see

Put me out of my misery
I'd do it for you, would you do it for me
We will always be busy
Making misery

We could build a factory
And make misery
We'll create the cure
We made the disease

Frustrated Incorporated (×2)

Well, I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what you pay to feel

Put me out of my misery
All you suicide kings and you drama queens
Forever after happily
Making misery

Did you satisfy your greed
Get what you need
Was it only envy
So empty

Frustrated Incorporated (×2)

Frustrated Incorporated
(Put me out of my misery)

Frustrated Incorporated
(I'd do it for you, would you do it for me)

Frustrated Incorporated
(Forever after happily)

Frustrated Incorporated
(Making misery)

Frustrated Incorporated
(Making misery)
