  • Are you miserable are you miserable tonight
    Your invincible indefensibleseven deep and getting right
    I hope you'll write some song where you mention all the wrongs is done
    Tell everyone you' happy and order up another one

    Yeah the genius staggers home
    Yeah are you better off alone.

    Are you satisfied are you ever gonna be
    You' despicable inexplicable and you' meaningless to me.
    I hope you'll write some song where you mention all the wrongs is done
    Tell everyone you' happy and slip into oblivion.

    Yeah the genius staggers home
    Yeah are you better off alone
    Yeah the genius staggers home
    Yeah are you better off alone

    Are you miserable are you miserable tonight
    Your invincible indefensibleseven deep and getting right
    I hope you'll write some song where you mention all the wrongs is done
    Tell everyone you' happy and slip into oblivion

    Yeah the genius staggers home
    Yeah are you better off alone
    Are you better off alone are you better off alone
    Are you better off alone are you better off alone. Writer/s: COFFEY, HARRISON, JOHN DAVIS, POWERS
