Joke

Gather 'round let's watch this clown go down
What a graceful fall
Flat on your face you feel so small
You're a joke (joke!)
Everyone is laughing at you
(you're a joke!) everything you say and you do
(you're a joke!) everyone is laughing at you
Can't deny you cry for humble pie
Such a hopeless mess
Your crushing failure's a big success
You're a joke (joke!)
Everyone is laughing at you
(you're a joke!) just can see to win so you lose
(you're a joke!) everyone is laughing at you
Oh it makes me so happy to see you
Drowning in your misery
But i am you so you'll agree the irony the joke's on me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh suppose it may be cruel
To ridicule a brilliant fool like you
Stop!!!
Joke (joke!)
Everyone is laughing at you
(you're a joke!) don't know how you stand to be you
(you're a joke!) everyone is laughing at you
