lyrics

We live in a society
Filled with heartlessness and senseless greed
Everybody’s lookin’ out for themselves, can’t you see?
They don’t give a damn about people like you and me

Life will take, and take, and take some more
Til you’re left bruised and bleeding out on the floor
Well I’m not the person that I was before
Because I’ve got nothing left to live for

I’m one move away from breaking
Don’t you dare try to test my patience
I’ve got the confidence of a man with nothing left to lose
So if you mess with me then I just might shoot

Life is a joke, life is a joke, isn’t it funny?
Look at them run, look at them running from me
They used to tease me, now no one’s laughing at me
‘Cause I’ve got the gun, look at them running from me

Life’s a dark and twisted place
So let’s put a smile on that face
Life’s more fun when you’re delirious
So I’ve got one question, hun…
Why so serious?

Life is a joke, life is a joke, isn’t it funny?
Life is a joke, life is a joke
