lyrics

Build you up, to tear you down
Numb the senses, clap the sound
Happiness, well it ain't found
When you're crying tears of a clown

Can you hear the laugh track in my head
Can you say the punchline once again
It's candy for the apple in my mouth
When all I want to do is scream and shout
Can you see the tear stain up my face
Cutting through the bullshit to the chase
Everything about me dis-repaired
I hate it when you people stop and

Hit me with your hammer, let it fall on my head
As I slip and stagger, 'cause it ain't over yet

What's so funny baby, when is this going to end
It's so complicated, living life with the bends
In this situated, for the joke is on me
It ain't easy being, the king of your comedy

What's so funny baby, when is this going to end
It's so complicated, living life with the bends
In this situated, for the joke is on me
It ain't easy being, the king of your comedy

Wiggin out, freak it up
It's so funny, down the count
Dress it over, for the view
Got no shame, come to you

Whenever did the brunt become of me
I'm never going to ask for sympathy
Sitting in the hot seat standing up
OMFG, WTF
I'm dying from the laughter deep inside
And all I want to do is run and hide
Wearing out the crown as the king of fools
No matter how I try I always

Hit me with your hammer, let it fall on my head
As I slip and stagger, 'cause it ain't over yet

What's so funny baby, when is this going to end
It's so complicated, living life with the bends
In this situated, for the joke is on me
It ain't easy being, the king of your comedy

What's so funny baby, when is this going to end
It's so complicated, living life with the bends
In this situated, for the joke is on me
It ain't easy being, the king of your comedy

Comedy, I'm not the king of your comedy
Comedy, I'm not the king of your comedy
Comedy, I'm not the king of your comedy
Comedy, I'm not the king of your comedy
Comedy, I'm not the king of your comedy
Comedy, I'm not the king of your comedy
Comedy, I'm not the king of your comedy
Comedy, I'm not the king of your comedy
Comedy, I'm not the king of your comedy
Comedy, I'm not the king of your comedy
Comedy, I'm not the king of your comedy
