You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your own voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what you've heard
You, you're smothered in tragedy
And you're out to save the world
Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery
You still stood there screaming
No one caring about these words you tell
My friend, before your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
These times are sent to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You, you'll take it on all yourself
Remember, misery loves company
Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery
You just stood there screaming
My friend of misery

Review about My Friend Of Misery /METALLICA\ | Reviewer: J | 5/27/09
When I think of /METALLICA\ in their prime, I just can't help but to think of the Black Album. Just the way everything sounded, Hetfields reigning voice along with the pure thrash sound of his guitar, the machine gun drums of Ulrich, that raw power of Newstead's bass, all wrapped around Hammett's unbelievable guitar solos. It just screams juggernaut! Don't get me wrong, I love "Kill Em All," "Ride the Lightning," "Master of Puppets," and "And Justice For All." That speed and thrash metal of early /METALLICA\ will never be matched by any band. Other Albums like "Load," "Reload," and "St. Anger," bring the hard rock and balleds to the table. Going back to what I said about /METALLICA\ being in their prime with the Black Album, it just seems like the band was able to bring it all together, they put an album out that didn't totally melt your face completely off with rediculous metal, and they didn't bore you with slower riffs like from the later albums. The Black Album had a bit of everything in it, speed metal, thrash metal, and some hard rock, along with a balled from "Nothing Else Matters." The Black album is by far one of the best albums I've ever heard from any metal band, period. Its good to hear that /METALLICA\ is getting back to their old school ways after putting out the album "Death Magnetic," the stuff they have on there makes me truly believe that this band can go on shredding it up for years to come.
Anyways, "My Friend of Misery," great song, really enjoyed it because of how hetfield sings it. He puts a lot of heart and soul into the vocals of this song, and just about all of his songs. Again, great song.
For those out there who say /METALLICA\ sold out, you're right, they did sell out, they've sold out arenas all over the world for over 20 years, and they are gonna sell out for another 20 years.
"/METALLICA\ DIDN'T GO MAINSTREAM, MAINSTREAM WENT /METALLICA\!!!"

You just stood there screaming... | Reviewer: Roxy Shox | 9/19/07
... As you should on Metallica concert - screaming, listening, crying. This song is a great proove Metallica could play anything, even "Oh, Suzanna", and still would sound like no other - perfect.
Another perfect song from MetallicA..They are doing the best music!!!
