Funny Man

Lyrics for Funny Man

I broke my knees upon the pearl and onyx In the hall of trophies built to honor my father Spilled the blood, gave them as much as they wanted Still had to dance for my supper, still had to give them my body Different masks Different pain Big world Small change Outside, there's no mercy Outside, there's no mercy Outside, there's no mercy Outside, there's no mercy And not everyone can hide Not everyone gets to hide The wicked jester is dancing and clapping And my big, strong hands kill the people they told me There are times that I can almost believe it I can almost imagine I was meant to do this and be here Caged life Caged hurt Passed down Past Earth Outside, there's no mercy Outside, there's no mercy Outside, there's no mercy Outside, there's no mercy Not everyone can hide Not everyone gets to hide They move the pieces on the pearl and onyx If the horror don't kill me, my rotten teeth will The trophies gleam through glass cases I polished All the floor has my story; all they need is more bodies The cruel ending is that my story continues I help them to live but why am I living? I gave them my flesh to write the final chapter But the blood of my sons is just a new beginning Funny man Funny man Funny man
