The Last Joke You'll Ever Play on Me Lyrics

For all the wounds I've sustained this year

And for the bruises to come

If you're even out there, you listen clear

I'll die before shedding tear one

I've never been one to shift the blame

But what other choice do I have?

Seems everything I do, I do in vain

And don't dare tell me I'm a bad man

And all of the singers who write all the songs

Sending their praises to you

Don't seem to realize they wouldn't be wrong

To hold you accountable too

Give me a blessing, then take it back

I guess I'm good comic relief

Well, this jester's got about one more act

Before he suspends all belief

You've had your last laugh at my expense

So why don't we stop on a dime?

It's not even worth my last two cents

Much less my valuable time

So call me what you will, but I'd be enraged

If I wasn't steering my life

"Divine intervention" is just another way

Of saying my will's second in line
