Why Are You Laughing at Me?

VERSE 1 I wrote a story from cover to cover
For every one of the literature lovers
My imagination ran wild with fantasies
Autographs for those who are asking me
Making it rain hundred dollar bills
All because I had some mad skills
Then the red ink dried on the page
The word “reject” sent me into a rage


CHORUS 1
Tell me why! Why are you laughing at me?!
Tell me who! Who should I try to be?!
Tell me what! What the fuck is your deal?!
Tell me how! How should I fucking feel?!


VERSE 2
I worked up the courage to ask her out
Cleared my mind of any possible doubt
Calmed the butterflies in my round tummy
Waiting for a kiss so romantic and yummy
She laughed at me alongside her plus one
Goddamn, that’s just so fucking fucked up
She could have said no and it’d be over
She made me curse myself for being sober


CHORUS 1
Tell me why! Why are you laughing at me?!
Tell me who! Who should I try to be?!
Tell me what! What the fuck is your deal?!
Tell me how! How should I fucking feel?!


VERSE 3
I’m not a clown and my life is not a circus
You’re the joke, your opinion’s so worthless
It’s amateur night at The Laugh Factory
It’s your turn to curl up in dreaded agony
How does it feel to be under the microscope?
How does it feel to lose every ounce of hope?
You wore my shoes and walked the green mile
The pain is all yours via the laughs and smiles


CHORUS 2
Tell me where! Where is the justice in this?!
Tell me when! When will you end this shit?!
Tell me now! Give me your final answer!
Too late now! Give up, you laughing bastard!
