One day they'll lift off the lid Look down and say "Hey listen kid You've been fooled for a million years, So have a laugh before you cry the tears." [Verse 2] A joke, a joke, it's all a silly joke. It started as a game you see For DNA and you and me To build a spiral staircase to the stars But now we've all forgotten who we are (who are we?). [Chorus 1] I can't see you smiling any more It seems like the joke has become... A bore. [Lead break] [Verse 3] A joke, a joke, it has to be a joke. Running round like bumbling b's With bloody hands and grubby knees Calling to the gods to "save our souls" Then hurry home the roast is going cold. [Chorus 2] I can't see you smiling any more It seems like the joke has become... A bore. (a bore)
