That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore

And it's too near the bone

And now, now, now, it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
You kick them when they fall down
Their only desire is to die
Happening in mine, happening in mine

And now it's happening in mine
And now it's happening in mine

Happening in mine, happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
You kick them when they fall down
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And now it's happening in mine
It was dark as I drove the point home
And on cold leather seats
It doesn't make me smile
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
And now it's happening in mine, oh

Kick them when they fall down
When you laugh about people
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
More than you'll ever know
Time's tide will smother you
And it's too near the bone
Well, I'm afraid
It's too close to home
Well, it suddenly struck me
I just might die with a smile on my face after all

I've seen this happen in other people's lives
I wish I could laugh
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
Happening in mine
But that joke isn't funny anymore
And now it's happening in mine
Happening in mine, now, now
I've seen this happen in other people's lives

Who feel so very lonely

It's too close to home

And now, now, now, it's happening in mine
Happening in mine, happening in mine
And now it's happening in mine
Kick them when they fall down

And I will too
