lyrics

LIFE’S A JOKE

the pain
feel the pain of it coming on
and just like that
it turns the young lovers on

one day your horse is up
the next it’s been put down
nothing seems to matter anyhow

all the things that I could do without
what’s a clam got to be so happy about?

one day you’re up
the next day you lay down and croak
he said “life’s a gas”
but I say life’s a joke
la la life’s a joke
la la la la life’s a joke

the pain
that comes with love is what’s in store
wake up to find him on the bathroom floor

and now the heart breaks into four
fuck your god
he closed a window and shut the door
life’s a joke

la la la la la
la la la la life’s a joke
la la la la la
life’s a joke
