Ceschi - Bad Jokes lyrics
[Ceschi - Bad Jokes lyrics]
He apologized to the folks in
The back row who
Got splattered in blood at the last show
He apologized for the spit
And sweat that dripped
Off of his skin and his chest
But none the less
He should have apologized for things that
He never did when he should
And things that he did when he shouldn't
Of all those sins that gathered up
To form a fifty foot
Dragon sleeping in a labyrinth inside
Of his brain cavity stagnant
GG Allin threatened to blow out
His brains on the stage
But when death day came it was quiet and tame
And there's the one about the girl
In Berlin who jumped out
A window when her people convinced
Her suicide was performance
Bad jokes about bad people in
Bad bars make the
Bad worse and make the good crash cars
So have you heard the one
About the one man band?
I heard he sang like an
Angel before he hanged
So have you heard the one
About the one man band
Yes the one man band? Yeah, I heard it
But, it's too soon to laugh about
His follies in the past
About the way that he got fat and
Couldn't keep it in his pants
And I remember lies about
Five figure record deals
Headlining bills and lines when he tried
To convince me everything was real
But it was a crying shame
Seeing him lye in pain
After realizing the way he
Wasted time and again
They dangled the prize in front
Of his tired eyes
Like arcade toy cranes with no claws to play
He used to sing
"god damn another one of God's bad jokes"
When he stabs and pokes at her last hopes
We were young once, we wrote songs
About not giving a fuck
Acting like we had some guts
Laughing on a bar stool dumb, drunk
His one hand fiddled with some nuts
While the other held the mug
And every crease in his face was
A fault line that looked
Like it had been drawn there
At the beginning of time
But he was only 45 when he
Died with no family left behind
Just instruments and a mic
And the story goes that he cried
Like a baby as he
Tied the noose waiting for someone
To come and save him
The back row who
Got splattered in blood at the last show
He apologized for the spit
And sweat that dripped
Off of his skin and his chest
But none the less
He should have apologized for things that
He never did when he should
And things that he did when he shouldn't
Of all those sins that gathered up
To form a fifty foot
Dragon sleeping in a labyrinth inside
Of his brain cavity stagnant
GG Allin threatened to blow out
His brains on the stage
But when death day came it was quiet and tame
And there's the one about the girl
In Berlin who jumped out
A window when her people convinced
Her suicide was performance
Bad jokes about bad people in
Bad bars make the
Bad worse and make the good crash cars
