Lyrics

Joke

For laughin' hunger

It's what the people resign to.

You picked and now you're stuck with her

Digesting something you don't want.

The powers I cancelling to me

In the dream O.K.

Seal the moves, say a two and then a three

The same, the same.

---

True

But I'm here for good

And if the people resign, good

I think you know you're stuck with her

But is it something you don't want

The powers I cannot even reach

The evil days

Sealed by fools

Say you'll do it 'til you breach

Saying the same

---

(alternate version)

Don't

And I can for good

And if the people resign, good

You think you know you're stuck with her

But is it something you don't want?

The powers have given into me

To keep away

Seal the fools and see them do it on the bridge

The same insane
