Being The Joke
Andy Northrup

I'm getting obnoxious in my older years

I still don't know when to hold my tongue

It's always a toss between pride and tears

Or wondering when I'll come undone



But I don't mind being the joke

It's an easy role to play

As long as you laugh up your ass

Nobody hears you anyway



I used to be bitter till I saw the stripes

Of all of the drones in your reach

Gives me some hope for the kids today

Who learned to reject what you preach


So I don't mind being the joke

Cause it's a tiny price to pay

You might still have your throne

But your world's in decay

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



Bury the anger as I write this down,

Occasional demons still flare

Think of the mirrors that you must avoid

For fear of the things you'll see there



So I don't mind being your joke

It's a funny badge that I share

With the ones I respect

With the few that still care



So shake your head and stare

Yeah shake your head and stare

What makes you think that I care
