House of Cards

Everybody’s a comedian!
Everyone is
just so funny, it’s
Funner than me even,
And the rest can learn their parts:
Everybody is a wiseguy working that DOUBLE TAKE, or
Some wiseacre
Trying to Build a Ship of Fools a House of Cards

Everybody’s so expedient –
Kings had jesters
And pro testers
Chewing all you’re feeding ’em,
Spitting on the guards;
Taking everyone’s material
Maybe for fear you’ll
Choke or
Else some Joker
Trying to Build a Ship of Fools a House of Cards.

When I just can’t watch them make the most of each alien nation…
… Set the precious humor flooding FREE in every situation…
… And I take out my frustration in a song like this.
Well, everybody is a card, everybody is a card, everybody’s such a card, everybody is a …
Everybody’s such a card, everybody is…
Everybody’s such a card, everybody is!

EVEN MONEY THIS COULD BE THE END.
Eight-plus billion acting silly and
Proving dying’s easy and
That comedy is hard.
You could rather they would take impressions like silly putty –
Or everybody
Working at the stand-up act took us this far: at
