My Life Is a Joke

My life is a joke
Just an unfunny joke
Where the martyrs are comedians without a place to talk
And they’re laughing at my poems, baby
On the college radio

My life is a joke

Just a dumb little joke
Where the punchline is an overdose in a public pool
Hey your walking kinda funny baby
Been spending all ur money lately
Are you shooting up your honey
Later at the rodeo

Have all of the stories been told bout the Jesus oh Christ
Did he find out the name of the store
Where he lost all of his money trading
Betting on the rodeo

My life is a joke
Just a bit that I wrote
I can’t believe that the silence could get any worse

My life is a curse
A very unfunny curse
And I’m in trouble with the district and the surrounding towns
I was ripping out the copper piping
Breaking into to spring lake heights
Taking all the neighbors lighting
Oh lord now it was something frightening

I wanta be onto you
They’re gonna be onto me
I wanta be onto you
They’re gonna be onto me
