Lyrics

Cracking up
I'm getting ready to go
Had enough
I can't take any more
No pills
That I can take
This is too real
And there ain't no escape
It scares the daylights
It makes a nightmare
I'm tensioned an I'm nervous
Everybody all around me
Shakin' hands and sayin' howdie
I don't think it's funny no more
Cracking up
Like a worn out shoe
Ain't wet
But the world's leakin' through
I'd run
But I find no pace
I laugh
But it's wrecking me
Wrecking me
It make a shiver, it make a shake
It make a monster
Just like an earthquake
Everybody havin' fun1
I don't know how they can carry on
Cause if don't think it's funny no more
At dead of night time
At crack of dawn
It comes upon me without warning
If I were a gunman I would shoot
I'd tear the hair out by the root
I'd make a knife out of a notion
All at sea in an ocean of a emotion
I don't think it's funny no more
I don't think it's funny no more
Cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more
Cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more
Cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more
Cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more
Cracking up
