Formed in the summer of 1981 by high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner, Soul Asylum (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands Hsker Dand The Replacements. Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will... Everything Can Happen in 1984 (later reissued as Say What You Will, Clarence... Karl Sold the Truck), Made to Be Brokenin 1986, While You Were Outin 1986, and the EP Clam Dip And Other Delightsin 1988. The band then switched to A&M, releasing Hang Timein 1988 and And the Horse They Rode in Onin 1990 under that label.

Misery Lyrics

Soul Asylum

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 youd pay to see
Put me out of my misery
Id 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
Well create the cure; we made the disease
Frustrated, incorporated
Frustrated, incorporated
Well I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what youd 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
Frustrated, incorporated
Frustrated, incorporated (put me out of my misery)
Frustrated, incorporated (Id do it for you, would you do it for me)
Frustrated, incorporated (forever after happily)
Frustrated, incorporated (making misery)
Etc...
