Laughingstock

(альбом: Built To Last - 1997)

You set the standard for everyone
the standard to avoid
and yet you're hogging the spotlight again
and everyone is annoyed
your affectations are obvious
the trends so easily seen
another martyr is nailed to the swatch
the fantasy is obscene

You're a prop, you're a prop
you're a fucking laughingstock
You're a prop, you're a prop
this charade has got to stop
Got to stop, got to stop, got to stop

So go out and let them know
who's the big man of the show
who's the piss-ant living large
who's the no-one taking charge
will you be seen in the scene
does your rep still come up squeaky clean
will you be seen in the scene that hates you
mocks you, mocks you, they're mocking you

At the top, at the top, laughingstock is at the top
at the top, at the top, number one
he's got the spot
shit list, shit list, tops the list, so go out
and let them know
who's the big man of the show
who's the piss-ant living large
who's the nothing taking charge
will you be seen in the scene
does your rep still come up squeaky clean
will you be seen in the scene that hates you
mocks you, mocks you, they always mock you
you're a prop, you're a prop
Laughingstock
gets no props, gets no props
Laughingstock
got to stop, got to stop, got to stop
