Playing it all for laughs
Lyrics by R. G. Theil , 25 October 2001
Why're you sending propaganda to my home site?
Loaded proclamations inferring wrong and right
Don't you think I've some perspective?
I choose my time to be reflective
Do you think I'm playing it all for laughs?
As if I was playing it all for laughs
Now you've found a cause worth fighting for
Think I should sign up for your Holy war!
All these years in word and song
When I was burning strong
While you were just playing it all for laughs
While you were just playing it all for laughs
Where were you, when I was struggling through?
Where were you, when I was ridiculed and drowned in laughter?
Against the grain
Against the tide
I did not find an easy answer
You found it all too weighted
Unbearable and concentrated
Cause you were still playing it all for laughs
You were still playing it all for laughs
Yes you were
The world has changed I guess and so have you
I can't subscribe to your simple world view
Whoever's listening now, you're not the one
You're still wrapped up in having senseless fun
Cause you're still playing it all for laughs
Cause you're still playing it all for laughs
