I got a story to tell you
Of truth and lies, and sleight of hand
And everything in between the moral fences
You erected decades ago

Our main character is a broken man
A broken life, a broken interpersonal show
The illustrious tear him down and all he’s left with
Is the words that echo like so:

“I got a broken behind, but I’m too sullen to speak
X out the mind
All worlds will collide
T-t-t-tumbling down”

At the top of the belfry I can see the light shine
I rescind my demands and open up to the sky!
Would you give me your answer?

There’s something kinda wrong with the world
Or maybe I’m the one that’s absurd?
I’m the joker and the joker police
I think I’ll lock myself away and then throw away the key

I kept a topical answer
To chauvinists, and @(#*#%!
To wit: my sanctimony would verify
The vastness of the echo chamber that I was in

Our main battle: misogyny, misandry
And the misanthropic view of the world
I swear I’d drop you fuckin’ kids in the wilderness
To make you understand that what you reap’s what you sow!

At first I wanted to maim, but then I wanted to kill
Just for the thrill
The very birth of a death
B-b-b-breaking the walls down

When I see your duress, I know I’m close to the proof
You sit and squirm like a cancer, open up to the truth!
Would you hear the world’s answer?

There’s something kinda wrong with the world
Or maybe you’re the one that’s absurd?
You’re the joker and the joker police
I think I’ll lock you up and after that, throw away the key

There’s something kinda wrong with the world
Or maybe everybody’s absurd?
We’re the joker and the joker police
I guess that life revolves around you
When you’re stuck here with me
