lyrics

You keep slipping can’t get no traction
Meanwhile the gods above laughing
So mad and frustrated
They took your wahburger and just ate it

I don’t blame you I do it too
I spend most my day trying not to come unglued
Trying to keep my cool trying not to freak out
The gods think I’m crazy it makes them geek out

They know these emotions are otherwise useless
And yet we act as though they’ll do shit
But it doesn’t… matter
Every time you laugh the gods feel flattered

To them it’s all a joke and a half
At your expense, on your behalf
So will you laugh, crack up, or just stay down
The butt of a joke told on their divine playground

You suffer only because you take serious what the gods made for fun
You suffer only because you take serious what the gods made for fun
You suffer only because you take serious what the gods made for fun
You suffer only because you take serious what the gods made for fun

So serious pumped full of dread
You forgot to crack a smile now you’re stuck in your head
The gods start to giggle it’s nothing to them
Just another funny day when the shit show begins

Oh no, you getting upset
Like it’s make a difference to the results that you get
Like the outcome would be better cause your bitter and mad
The gods watching you amused as they sit there and laugh

You lost your temper, couldn’t control it
The gods on the floor, laughing and rolling
You blew it again looking funny as hell
And the gods appreciate it makes a story to tell

Your little tears mean nothing
A puppet in the game you think your fears mean something
It’s all comedy keep on trucking
And may the gods grant you mercy from the humor among them

You suffer only because you take serious what the gods made for fun
You suffer only because you take serious what the gods made for fun
You suffer only because you take serious what the gods made for fun
You suffer only because you take serious what the gods made for fun
