Lyrics
The mob are ravenous, they're thirsting for my blood
Hunting for me nightly; "Ready the stake – fetch the wood."
This poisoned chalice, once tight within my grip
The unruly horde cries out: "Comedy metal is fucking shit."
The only reviews worth reading are scrawled on the back of toilet doors
Gnashing teeth grinding bones to powder then to be snorted on the sink by the rabble's whores
This pit of vipers is always hissing with contempt

This is your last chance
One more attempt
That's it you're locked out, you're never getting in
Wipe that smirk right off your face – that shit-eating grin
Insidious imbeciles mocking a carefully crafted code
Sin and death and rage is all we've ever known
I'm so tired
Is this my burden, is this my Hell to bear?
A severe inability to take anything seriously
Forever cursed to be the clown
I'm the wry smile at the funeral, the selfie with the mushroom cloud
The only reviews worth reading are hateful comments in online forums
Chewed up and spat out by the algorithm's doormen
Trade in your soul for content and monetise your dreams
This world will burn to blackened ash but think of all the memes
Everything is funny if you take enough steps back
Everything is funny if you hold your breath for long enough
Are you not entertained?
Where is my fortune? Where's my fame?
You cannot possibly hate me any more than I hate myself
Is this my burden, is this my hell to bear?
A severe inability to take anything seriously
Forever cursed to be the clown
I'm the wry smile at the funeral, the selfie with the mushroom cloud
Should I carve out my own path or go by the handbook?
You shouldn't judge a book by its cover
Don't you dare judge this book by its cover
It's all a fucking joke
It's all a joke, and no one's laughing but me
Maybe that's all that matters
And maybe that's the point
