whatever happened to the simple things we shared?
when the music was the central point to the reason we're all here
but now it's just a bunch of laughs
and the joke's on you, the joke's on you
the punchline spits on a rejected past and the joke is on you.
joke's on you, joke's on you!
joke's on you, joke's on you!
joke's on you, joke's on you!
the joke is on you.
an army of outcasts, in need of escape
or sarcastic clowns pissing on our dreams?
consumer culture getting in on the gag
the nail in the coffin for the times we had.
joke's on you, joke's on you!
joke's on you, joke's on you!
joke's on you, joke's on you!
the joke is on you.
it's a loser pissing contest, a rally for king of the freaks
i can see the comedy straight and true
just remember that, that the joke is on you.
