No Jokes Left

作词 : Alex Ebert

作曲 : Alex Ebert

What keeps me going when the world like this

I don’t know I guess I’m holding on

to something like hope I guess

What’s a dream if you’re never really woke

But death

pardon me I’m just laughing

cause there’s no jokes left

Hey is it too late to not not give a ****?

The planet is hot my brain is rotting

my penis is shriveling up

I’m stuck in the house I’m stuffing my mouth

I haven’t seen humans in months

If this isn’t acid this is my last trip

Life is a terrible drug

Psychedelic shit

Everything I know is irrelevant

now that you mention it

Horny and celibate

My dick is irrelevant

FaceTime is the closest

That we will ever get

To tell you the truth my brain got no room

For a pink ass elephant

Twisted like good rope

Hung like good folk

It’s all relatives

Swinging from the branches of the government

Woah

Hey, i’m so woke I forgot to dream

It was something about the top of a mountain

Shit, tighten the noose, it slips my memory.

Black blood is raining like it’s entertainment

And it’s all a nightmare to me

The future called, it wants 20/20 back

If we can Nazi/not see

So woke we forgot to dream

(This is an awkward scene)

Look, I like categories as much as the next fantasy

But, paging Dr. King

Look, unity is soon to be written in an obit

And the only thing to get us together is Covid?

(Trash)

Hi I’m not violent but my words are loaded

Can I borrow sugar to coat ‘em?

(Mask)

What keeps me going when the world like this

I don’t know I guess I’m holding on

to something like hope I guess

What’s a dream if you’re never really woke

But death

pardon me I’m just laughing

cause there’s no jokes left

Today aristocrats chanting “good vibes only”

While the hood dies slowly

In the periphery (who wants to see misery)

Peasants be bumming my pleasantries

Create realities with New Age recipes:

“Get poor people out my space“

Crystals and salads and magic midwifery

This is a symphony - we are all Tiffany

(Face)

This is how victory look

this is the system when shook

Power the people

The winners are writing the history books

**** all the versus for good

Forever we singing the hook

Sorry I’m late I was pressing my luck

Is it too late to not not not not give a ****?

Uh...

The pendulum swings from awful to dumb

And we have to sit there

and let them think they won

And they tend to win nothing but sentiment

100 percent of the time

Not enough to commit them to penitence

So it swings by empathy, elegance,

Righteousness, grace -

All made irrelevant

Wisdom replaced

With a limitless innocence...

Now citizens, feminists to gentlemen,

left to right, I propose we act like night is eminent...

Ah!

What keeps me going when the world like this

I don’t know I guess I’m holding on

to something like hope I guess

What’s a dream if you’re never really woke

But death

pardon me I’m just laughing

cause there’s no jokes left

What keeps me going, what keeps me going

What keeps me going, what keeps me here

What keeps, what keeps me going

What keeps me going, what keeps me going.
