Croak 歌詞

Happy ever-afters they are just a joke Forever is a long time it will go up in smoke There are no happy endings just a few happy times In youth we are immortal then shocked by our decline How slowly does the penny drop we're victims of a joke Quite often realisation is just before we croak There are no happy ever-afters the stuff of fairy tales How slowly does it dawn on us that we are born to fail That's when we tend to realise what a waste of time Like actors in the worst of plays pointless every line How slowly does the penny drop we're victims of a joke Quite often realisation is just before we croak Well often it is praised the sanctity of life A pointless aimless exercise in loss suffering and strife Well when you leave this world I hope you've had a laugh 'Cause someone's played a trick on you they fucked you up the arse How slowly does the penny drop we're victims of a joke Quite often realisation is just before we croak It might be in the worst of taste this god's little joke But now I have realised it I think it's time to croak
