Sweet Misery

Janis Ian

[Refrain]
When all that matters in the end
Are the good times that have been
When living's tiresome, killing a sin
And death is easy, if you've been
And you don't think of the bad times when you're dyin'

[Verse 1]
I don't believe you hear what I said
Don't bar the windows, keep out of my way
I've got so little time to pray
I want to have fun

[Verse 2]
I got no time to take from my games
To pay my dues riding box-car trains
Throw me a pillow-fight, let's go insane
I like to run

[Chorus]
So hurt no one else
Put your cares on a shelf
And come along with me, sweet misеry

[Verse 3]
It don't matter if you're six or sixty-three
Once you havе lost your hold on the dream
Forget that you're human — become a machine
You're old and you're tethered

[Verse 4]
But if you'd really like to be free
Forget calculations, and ancient history
Take hold of the dream, grab it with me
'Cause now it's forever

[Chorus]
So hurt no one else
Put your cares on a shelf
And come along with me, sweet misery

[Refrain]
All that matters in the end
Are the good times that have been
Living's tiresome, and killing a sin
Death is easy if you've been
And you don't think of the bad times when you're dyin'
