Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Counting pennies
Paper towers climbing toward a sun they bought last Tuesday
Nodding Blinking
Waiting for the harvest of the hollow bones
[Pre-Chorus] Everything is priced to kill
Everything is down the hill
The trick is old
[Chorus] It is all a laugh
It is all a joke
Watch the system cough
Watch the system smoke
Funny how it works
Funny how it hurts
[Verse 2] Dusty gas receipt
Tangled in the weeds beside a broken billboard dream
Stars
Spinning
Heedless of the petty math we scribe in lead
[Pre-Chorus] Everything is priced to kill
Everything is down the hill
The trick is old
[Chorus] It is all a laugh
It is all a joke
Watch the system cough
Watch the system smoke
Funny how it works
Funny how it hurts
[Guitar Solo] [Bridge] They smile for the lens
They smile for the bank
They smile for the rot
Just a bit of grease
Just a bit of luck
Just a bit of nothing
[Chorus] It is all a laugh
It is all a joke
Watch the system cough
Watch the system smoke
Funny how it works
Funny how it hurts [Instrumental]
