That's the Joke

Post by king_arthur »

It looks like Cinderella still has a lot to do
It's 11:55 and she's still wearing both her shoes
Cindy hasn't figured out what to do or say
The Prince is just not into her, turns out the prince is gay.

And that's the joke / that these times
Have been playing / on our minds / on our minds.

Goldilocks has got a choice to make and her options aren't so sweet
It turns out that Baby Bear and family are living on the street
Now Goldie doesn't know where she is gonna spend the night
She's got a lot of choices, but none of them feel right.

And that's the joke / that these times
Have been playing / on our minds / on our minds.

No more happy endings, no more fairy tales
We're living in the once upon a time of epic fails.

One piggie built with sticks, one piggie built with straw
One piggie built from bricks, but it's a funny thing, the law
He went underwater and so the bank forclosed
Now when the big bad wolf shows up they've got nowhere to go.

And that's the joke / that these times
Keep on playing / on our minds...

And that's the joke / that these times
Keep on playing / with our minds / with our minds...

That's the Joke (drop D) by Hoglen and Wages

VERSE 1
once there was a boy who became a man
who became a guy who sat on a can
there he read his book while doing his biz
he liked to learn while he squeezed his shiz

never embarrassed by the facts of his life
but all the same he would not tell his wife
he shared what he learned and she never asked
how he got his knowledge by sitting on his ass

he learned how to brew homemade beer
and he figured out just what time of year
it was best to grow things in his front yard
he never had to go very far
no he never had to go very far

VERSE 2
despite the funky smell under his nose
he developed his own kind of prose
he even started sitting when he had to tinkle
cause he enjoyed getting his readin' in a sprinkle

he ran out of books but he got a smart phone
so he could check Facebook right from his throne
and when he was up with all of his friends
he read Wikipedia beginning to end
all the way to the end

but then one day he dropped his phone in the john
and he had to reach in and it wasn't much fun
so he begin to rethink his position
and he came up with a new solution
yeah he got a new one

BRIDGE
he'd devise a seat to make things meet
and they would stay above and below
he got his design and it was fine
and that's the joke, that's all I know

That's the Joke
by The Wankers



The Challenger explosion
Our nation's tragedy
The spaceship parts rained down on us
A cosmic bukkake

An old man wearing diapers
His time is almost done
When my dad died I wanked so hard
That I fell into the sun

The road The Wankers follow
Is paved with with good intentions
If you can't do it yourself
Then it shouldn't get done at all

With my own cum fresh on my shirt
At the food court in the mall
Cuz I just fucking wanked it
In the JC Penny stall

You may think I'm crazy
but the map is on the wall
Cuz if you aren't wanking
You aren't a man at all

The road The Wankers follow
Is paved with with good intentions
If you can't do it yourself
Then it shouldn't get done at all

Yo Dave's just eating some rice and I'm all about the thrice
Yo that three time that two time woman
And I'm all about the woman and I'm all about the woman
And I'm all about that bitch and I'm all about that

I'm coming I'm coming
The guy is waiting for me
But I don't know what I'm doing here
Because I don't know the mother fucker

The road The Wankers follow
Is paved with with good intentions
If you can't do it yourself
Then it shouldn't get done at all

Weed in bong
When the cops came along
Knock Knock on the door
My life has fallen through the floor

Five days in the slammer
And the prison guard hit me with a hammer
But Wankers always laugh last
Cuz I cummed in his face when he passed

The road The Wankers follow
Is paved with with good intentions
If you can't do it yourself
Then it shouldn't get done at all

(That's the Joke)
She won't go out with me
Wankin' to my memories
(That's the Joke)
You can't get STDs
From yearbook photography
(That's the Joke)
I'm wanking it to you
Are you wanking to me
(That's the Joke)

"That's the Joke"
by G.U.N.S. or Crumpelstiltskin

No one knows how to throw
A party like you do
The radiance of the night
Makes everything seem brand new
And all the world's woes
Seem to fade as we dance
I can almost forget
Nothing good ever lasts

And that's the joke
One day we'll be the punchline
Reversals of fortune
Bound to come sometime

This is a night of riches
Fancy clothes and champagne
If there's a war outside
It feels half a world away
We self-medicate
Become numb to all the pain
And never notice this moment (is)
Creeping closer to the grave

And that's the joke
One day we'll be the punchline
Reversals of fortune
Bound to come sometime

And we all raise a glass
Praise to the good life
As long as the music plays
Everything will be alright
But this won't stay forever
The time comes to go home
All the glory fades
And we're all alone

And that's the joke
One day we'll be the punchline
Reversals of fortune
Bound to come sometime
