Intro
(laughter echoes over detuned guitar and 808 k**k)
Ha-ha…
Yeah.
Laugh the pain away.
Hook (x2)
Female Joker in the flesh,
Prankster princess gon’ make your mess.
Laugh the pain away — yuh,
Laugh the pain away — yuh.
Critics always gon’ make you stress,
Let your dark side decide the rest.
Laugh the pain away — yuh,
Laugh the pain away — yuh.
Verse 1
Ever since I was a little girl,
Nanny said, “You gon’ rule the world.”
Dived too deep into Van Gogh swirls,
Bright-eyed freak with the wavy curls.
Spellbound mind, nerves unsteady,
Every word I spoke too heavy.
Daddy told Mama, “I concur —
Being compliant ain’t for her.”
He ain’t never told no lie, baby,
He ain’t never told no lie.
Play your cards right, might catch a smile,
Cheeky k***e grin, comedian child.
Good in the world? that’s why I’m vile.
Saints still preach from their fragile aisle.
Sinners ride out Wild West style,
Chaos lives down the triple-six aisle.
Hook (x2)
Female Joker in the flesh,
Prankster princess gon’ make your mess.
Laugh the pain away — yuh,
Laugh the pain away — yuh.
Heroes always gon’ make you stress,
Let your dark side decide the rest.
Laugh the pain away — yuh,
Laugh the pain away — yuh.
Bridge / Breakdown
(spoken with distorted laughter)
Mirror cracked but I’m still smilin’.
Heart full of smoke, soul still stylin’.
If peace means quiet — I’d rather r**t.
Crown me chaos, I’ll stay defiant.
(b**t drops, whispered chant)
Laugh it off — don’t cry.
Paint the pain under both eyes.
Turn the hurt into high.
Now watch me fly.
Final Hook (repeat & fade)
Female Joker in the flesh,
Prankster princess gon’ make your mess.
Laugh the pain away — yuh,
Laugh the pain away — yuh.
Critics talk while I confess,
Let the madness do the rest.
Laugh the pain away — yuh,
Laugh the pain away — yuh.
(b**t ends with laughter fading into silence)
