Lyrics The Joke's on You - Zebrahead

The Joke's on You

Wind me up and then let me go
A sabotage low in every flow
Stacking 'em up like a domino
Knock 'em all down with a single blow (go)
Burn a bridge just to watch it fall
Flood the engine to see it stall
Things so small, make you feel so tall
Push my back up against the wall
A tall tale to tell
A hard sale to sell
A break down (break down)
You’re lying to yourself
A tall tale to tell
You’re just an empty shell
A break down (break down)
You’re lying to yourself
Half-truth and lies
Empty alibis
Cut me down to size
(Turns out the jokes on you)
You can’t disguise
Better recognize
I won’t sympathize
(Turns out the joke’s on you)
Shoot me down with a ricochet
Poison tongue and a price to pay
Sweeping down like a bird of prey
To tear me apart right where I lay (hey)
Turn a question into a brawl
Mix some vengeance with alcohol
Break my will just to see me crawl
Push my back up against the wall
A tall tale to tell
A hard sale to sell
A break down (break down)
You’re lying to yourself
A tall tale to tell
You’re just an empty shell
A break down (break down)
You’re lying to yourself
Half-truth and lies
Empty alibis
Cut me down to size
(Turns out the jokes on you)
You can’t disguise
Better recognize
I won’t sympathize
(Turns out the joke’s on you)
Our lungs are chokin' in the haze
Distortion comes in waves
Gotta get away from the lies and the liars
Hearts are hand grenades
Sharp like razorblades
Gotta make a break from the lies and the liars
(Our lungs are chokin' in the haze)
(Distortion comes in waves)
(Gotta get away from the lies and the liars)
(Hearts are hand grenades)
(Sharp like razorblades)
(Gotta make a break from the lies and the liars)
Half-truth and lies
Empty alibis
Cut me down to size
(Turns out the jokes on you)
You can’t disguise
Better recognize
I won’t sympathize
(Turns out the joke’s on you)
Half-truth and lies
Empty alibis
Cut me down to size
(Turns out the jokes on you)
You can’t disguise
Better recognize
I won’t sympathize
(Turns out the joke’s on you)
(A tall tale to tell)
(A hard sale to sell)
(A break) (hey, hey)
Turns out the joke’s on you
(A tall tale to tell)
(A hard sale to sell)
(A break) (hey, hey)
Turns out the joke’s on you
