Well I might see the irnony,
but I've tried
and I find I dont.
Everyone knows
how the punch line goes.
i suppose that means they get the joke.

you know,
I can see them fake a fall
make believe to save a soul
and I bless each day they dont take it all.

Because everybody's telling me
word for word
like i never heard before
and it gets to the end
and again my friend
and I cant raise a smile no more

You know,
less concern Ive never seen
best I'll learn to damn your sympathy
i curse you all from the day you need

This giving is one thing
driven through something else
divide it around amongst yourselves
get it out and spare me none
there is no doubt that day will come

Because everybody's telling me
word for word
like i never heard before
and then it gets to the bit
where it turns to shit
and i cant raise a smile no more

you know
You know,
less concern Ive never seen
best I'll learn to damn your sympathy
i curse you all from the day you need
i curse you all from the day you need
