The Joke letra

You're feelin' nervous aren't you, boy?
With your quiet voice and impeccable style
Don't ever let them steal your joy
And your gentle ways, to keep them from runnin' wild
They can kick dirt in your face
Dress you down and tell you that your place is in the middle
When they hate the way you shine
I see you tuggin' on your shirt
Tryna hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts

Let 'em laugh while they can
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
I've been to movies, I've seen how it ends
And the joke's on them

Ooh
Mm

You get discouraged, don't you, girl?
It's your brother's world for a while longer
We gotta dance with the devil on a river to beat the stream
And call it livin' the dream, call it kickin' the ladder (mm)
And they come to kick dirt in your face
To call you weak and then displace you
After carryin' your baby on your back across the desert
I saw your eyes behind your hair
And you're lookin' tired, but you don't look scared

So let 'em laugh while they can
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
I've been to movies, I've seen how this ends
And the joke's on them, hey, oh
Let 'em laugh while they can (they can)
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind (ooh)
I've been to movies, I've seen how it ends
And the joke's on them
The joke's on them

Oh, woah
Oh
The joke's on them
