How can you stand there after all we've been through
And act as if good fortune's nothing new?
You had me half believing that if your dream came true
I'd be receiving something too
But that's a joke
And I was laughing too
But if it's a joke
I'm a fool

The rat race ran your circles and I had to grab the wheel
The doctor said your ulcer would never heal
That's a joke
You trying play cool
If it's a joke
I'm a fool

So now we speak of money, which we held in such disdain
How once the world was ours, shit would change
That's a joke
Guess I'm laughing proof
But if it's a joke
What's it to me
What's that make me
Why am I asking you?

Was that a joke
Cause if it's a joke
I know what that means
I see what I've been
I've been fooled
