Long Running Joke

It’s a long running joking
And I’m sorry I'd croak if I lied, if I lied
We’d all just keep smiling the same

So you put on your suits
And you're all in cahoots, but who cares?
Silent prayers won’t keep you from going insane

Or maybe they will, if just for a time
You could say it was god, or something divine
You could blame it on flesh-eating monsters
Or even yourself, even yourself
La di da

Well it’s a long running joke
And I’ll run 'til I croak
God knows why, god knows why
We all keep on feeding the shame

So you put on your suits
And you're all in cahoots, but who cares?
Silent prayers won’t keep you from feeling the pain

Or maybe they will, cause you know what they say
When there’s a gun to your head
You should know how to pray
And when death comes a-knocking, he says that
We’re all just the same, we’re all just the same
La di da

So I'll put on a suit if you’ll promise to shoot when I’m chased
Sins erased
And bound for those big pearly gates

Or maybe they will, cause you know what they say
When there’s a gun to your head
You should know how to pray
And when death comes a-knocking, he says that
We’re all just the same, we’re all just the same
La di da

We're all just the same
