I watched the streets teach people how to kneel

Neon lies, dressed up as something real

They sell you fear, then sell the cure

Build a cage, call it “secure”

I tried to smile, I tried to play along

Counted every time they said I was wrong

But the joke’s not me, it’s all this control

Hands on the wheel, hands on your soul

They say be quiet, stay in line

I heard the punchline lost my mind

I’m laughing at the cage you made

Watching sanity decay

The world’s gone mad, I just agree

You call it order I call it comedy

Laughing while the empire burns

You wanted kings, you got concerns

Men in masks preaching law and peace

Writing rules so the riots sleep

They call it justice, I call it fear

Same old game every damn year

You want control, you want belief

I want truth with broken teeth

I’m laughing at the cage you made

Watching sanity decay

The world’s gone mad, I just agree

You call it order I call it comedy

Laughing while the empire burns

You wanted sense, you got the curse

You build the madness

Feed it lies

Then act surprised

When it bites

I didn’t fall

I stepped aside

And watched the joke

Come alive

I’m laughing as the walls close in

Chaos grinning under skin

You tried to rule, you tried to steer

But madness was already here

You wanted control.

I found the joke.

Now smile.
