Life's a Joke

Two naked souls in the Garden of Eden
 Cracking up jokes and looking at Eve
 When Father came 'round laughing, looking at me
 He said tell me son, what's so funny?
 I told him life's a joke not a tragedy
 I get the joke and the joke's on me
 Alone in the world ain't no way to be
 Can't live your life so seriously
 Well all they wanna do is work
 Move to a big city and act like a jerk
 There ain't no time to hang around
 In 22 years you'll be underground
 That's why life's a joke, not a tragedy
 I get the joke and the joke's on me
 Alone in the world ain't no way to be
 Can't spend your life so seriously
 Sunshine, four-five dilly all day
 I've got the offer and I'm digging my way
 We've all got to self destruct you say
 Why can't we find a different way to play?
 Life's a joke not a tragedy
 I'll give it to you all baby listen to me
 Alone in the world ain't no way to be
 Can't take your life so seriously
 Oh yeah
