THE JOKE'S ON YOU
”I hope my death makes more cents
Than my life.”
I see your picture perfect face
Staring with such empty eyes
I HATE ALL THOSE FAKE SMILES
Offering only what you deny
I REACH OUT TO BE PUSHED AWAY
Laughed at and pissed off
AND FUCKED WITH BY HUMAN FILTH
nEvER meant tO Be aLiVE
i’m such an inconvenience
I cannot calm my tragedy
With so many nights of anarchy
Let us watch it go up in flames
And put a smile on that face
They say I am beyond the norm
When I laugh as I bleed you
I’VE SEEN THE WORST IN MAN
The throes of society, I eschew
PULL YOU CLOSER TO SEE DISGUST
Reflecting in eyes
FILLED WITH FEAR YOU CAN’T COMPREHEND
NeVEr meant To lEt YoU LiVE
tell me, why so serious?
I cannot calm my tragedy
With so many storms of anarchy
Let us watch it go up in flames
And put a smile on that fucking face
”I used to think that my life was a tragedy
But now I realize
It’s a fucking comedy.”
YOU CAN’T CARRY A TUNE
T O S A V E Y O U R L I F E
Crack a smile at my misery
With so many nights of anarchy
The joke’s on you go up in flames
And put a smile on that face
I CANNOT CALM MY TRAGEDY
WITH SO MANY STORMS OF ANARCHY
LET US WATCH IT GO UP IN FLAMES
AND PUT A SMILE ON THAT FUCKING FACE
”How about another joke?
What do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a SOCIETY THAT ABANDONS HIM AND TREATS HIM LIKE TRASH?
I'll tell you what you get!
YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE!”
Than my life.”
