Feast my eyes on the sheeple
And press play on the canned laughter
I spin my head
Enjoy the ride
On the ironic treadmill
All is clear from a distance

always say you need more
Now Hollywood is dead
So are my friends
So are my friends
My Micro-dosing friends
They drift off round the bend

With their dollar sign eyes 
Canned laughter and lies
They're everything I despise

Drunk or canned laughter
I'm sorry -
What was the question again?

Does something about this seem funny?
We can get the canned laughter 
To make them believe that the joke landed

the rapture, the throes of canned laughter

missed a sitter
the pearly-gate crasher
the king's new clothes hanger
sceptic kind of sucker
straight man gone solo
drunk or canned laughter
i'm sorry -

remember
Bird-feeding from the rafters
Cue the canned laughter
It's so funny babies don't you see
Well it's not fucking funny to me
You chase your tails

the canned laughter
Your whole styles stolen like tithes to fake pastors
Think about it, a black man with a plan call me Super
Like Van Damme with tan, a black

joe
Little do they know
Oh how the turn tables faster
Burn down your high tower to canned laughter
Scrape the bottom of the barrel for the clown

Standing like a statue
Afraid to provoke, hmm

Alexander to stand out of my sun
Just a little typhoid can cancel out what you've done
Canned laughter, no funny shit, listen up
I get everything I need from

Laughter... at a joke that I don't get.

Now don't you go thinking
You're all that damn special
It's just a...   100 miles from a smile 
Just

Turn to the side

Watching you watch things
Wishing I could be something
Canned laughter is annoying
Let me think

The truth of the matter
