Lyrics by Shoes
Composed by Jeff Murphy
-------
You might find another noble cause
To hang upon your wall
And fill your hallowed halls
But in time your words will seal your fate
So I’m picking up the pace
And laughing in your face
‘Cause the joke’s on you
That’s the way it goes
When everybody knows
That the joke’s on you
I don’t need to say
That it’s funny how things change
Your point of view
When the joke’s on you
Now the joke’s on you
Strange to think that how
It’s not so funny now
That the joke’s on you
I was your amusement for a while
Now you can’t crack a smile
I’m laughing all the while
You can’t see the forest for your needs
Despite your desperate pleas
It just occurred to me
Now the joke’s on you
It’s right before your eyes
It comes as no surprise
That the joke’s on you
Now you know
That it’s funny how love goes
From hot to cold
When the joke’s on you
That’s the way it goes
When everybody knows
That the joke’s on you
Now the joke’s on you
The joke’s on you
