The Front Bottoms - Not Joking Lyrics

The Front Bottoms Lyrics

"Not Joking"

This is the life that almost killed me
This life, it made me walk away
But you know how life moves in circles
This is a character I play
This is the theater I was born into
Some of my stuff's still there today
Always only doing it for the room
Like I was born to entertain

Don't laugh
It's not funny
Don't joke
I'm not joking
The curtain is closing
So just clap
And keep smiling
But don't laugh
No, no, no, no, no, don't laugh

This is the fear that I was born into
Somehow affects me still today
Always afraid of knowing what to do, but
Those who are blessed shall not complain

You don't know me
Not how you used to
I was never cool
I thought I told you

Don't laugh
It's not funny
Don't joke
I'm not joking
The curtain is closing
So just clap
And keep smiling
But don't laugh

Don't laugh
It's not funny
Don't joke
I'm not joking
The curtain is closing
So just clap
And keep smiling
But don't laugh
No, no, no, no, no, don't laugh
Don't laugh
No, no, no, no, no, don't laugh
