I can feel my heartbeat always increasing
Everytime your words hit me in the face
I feel the stinging tears, the consequence of your hate towards me
Everytime your cruelty strikes
But that's okay because it was just a joke
something meant to make people laugh
Your humouring the world with your oh so funny jokes
when people get the chance to laugh with you at me
I hear the sound of a broken sob
When you pretend I don't exist
I hear the sing song voice of your sadistic remarks
When you pretend I'm the dirt on the soles of your red shoes.
But that's okay because it was just a joke
something meant to make people laugh
Your humouring the world with your oh so funny jokes
when people get the chance to laugh with you at me
I can see the judgement and the silent wonder
When I don't show people the bruises you inflicted on me
I can see the venomous melovolence in your dark eyes
when I just fail to react to you and your jokes
But that's okay because it was just a joke right?
something meant to make people laugh
Your humouring the world with your oh so funny jokes
when people get the chance to laugh with you at me
But I can see the future, 20 years time
I'll be singing praises of you and how you changed me
And I see you in 20 years time and where you will be.
Because that lonely old pub is where your watching me
On a broken telly nailed to the wall is an image of me
And I'm telling the world that it was just a joke
You were only joking when you tried to hurt me
And it doesn't matter because the joke...is on you.
