Life Is a Joke We Are Playing On Ourselves

Nobody tells you
Life is a joke

Sitting in somber pews
Re(hearsing) gregorian chants
Then back to in-family dance
One day off to school
We learn how the world is ruled

Dont step out of line
Get it on budget, in time

Why so serious face?
Has science figured it out?
Chromosomes in the dark
Aliens and DNA
The myths we tell ourselves
Right from the start
Always forgetting
Life is a joke
We are playing on ourselves
