Last Laugh
Thank the Lord
I never had children
As with me the cycle ends
No more bad luck to put upon another
No more laugh's and jokes at our expense
Hereditary persecution ends here with me
Tomorrow you will have to find another poor soul
Upon which to pray your game
Of picking the wings off defenseless fly's
No more crying
No tear's for you to see
Find another mouse with which to play
My family tree never did you any harm
But that didn't stop you
Just know this
For all you gave
All I took
This is my final gift to you
I have the last laugh
With me it ends here
I leave you no heir to continue
Let it be known you heard it here
No more tear's
No more fear's
See you on the other side
On a level playing field
And by the way
Vie got your Number
