You know what's not funny these days
Is how much of life we give away
Used to laugh now we complain
When things seem to not go our way
There's no humor left at all
At least not so that I recall
We misconstrue the do's and don'ts
Hardened hearts behind tall walls
You know what's not funny now
That society has forgotten how
To take a joke and laugh out loud
Even if it's towards itself
We have lost the art in it
Jumped both the track and the ship
Not a bit of it have we kept
Can't even dip our toes in it
You know what's not funny here
Doesn't seem we've laughed in years
Is it because we live in fear
That the joke's between our ears
