You tell me all your tales and your stories

You give me all your theories on life

How nothing that I say ever matters

And nothing that I do's ever right

The world's put here just to pass your time

You care for nothing at all

This is no laughing matter

This is no laughing matter



You seem to have no spark only boredom

You seem to have no interest at all

You seem to think you're better than others

You seem to be just ripe for a fall

Sometimes I just want to smack your face

Sometimes I don't care at all

This is no laughing matter

This is no laughing matter



Nothing seems to get to you

Nothing gets through at all

This is no laughing matter

This is no laughing matter



I'll take away what few friends are left you

I'll show them all what fools we have been

We'll leave you right up there on your alter

A hero on your own silver screen

The world's not there just to pass your time

You'll see you're nothing at all

This is no laughing matter

This is no laughing matter



The world's not there just to pass your time
