Songtext Life's a joke The Faint

Life's a joke

You want more love, you want more life
You want validation, you wanna make things right
You want success, you wanna be a big star
You wanna stack that money, you want some of that power
You wanna be free, but you wanna live long
You wanna be guiltless when it's all your fault
You wanna be awakened, but you want more sleep
You want more passion, but you need relief

With nothing to prove, no one to please
Nothing to hide, no one to be
You'll say what you will, life's a joke
It's a game of luck, then time's up

You wanna be real, you wanna be raw
You wanna feel needed, flaws and all
You wanna know yourself, you want a clear head
But you wanna get fucked up and you want respect
You wanna fit in, but you wanna stand out
You wanna trust your body, but you're best without
You wanna find your purpose and know you're right
You wanna be a good story, it could end tonight
With nothing to prove, no one to please
Nothing to hide, no one to be
You say what you do, life's a joke
It's a game of luck, then time's up

With nothing to prove, no one to please
Nothing to hide, no one to be
You say what you do, life's a joke
It's a game of luck, then time's up
