House of Cards

Everybody’s a comedian!
Everybody’s
just so funny!
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 them,
And spitting on the guards,
Taking everyone’s material
Maybe for fear you’ll
Choke or
Of 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!
… bring the precious humor out in each and every situation!
Do I take out my frustration in a song like this?
Cos everybody is a card, everybody’s such a card, everybody is a card, everybody is a …
Everybody’s is a card, everybody is! Everbody’s such a card, everybody is!

Everybody, this could be the end!
Some eight billion acting silly and
Proving dying’s easy and
That comedy is hard!
Would you rather they would take impressions like silly putty –
Or everybody
Working at the stand-up gotten us this far: at
Trying to Build a Ship of Fools
