about

Featuring the New England Chapter of The Mal Thursday Quintet.

This song was written on the set of Fear the Walking Dead in Austin, Texas and at the Medley Compound in Cummington, Mass.

lyrics

I was always having a laugh at other's expenses
Highly insensitive when deranging my senses
That's where I lived so wild and free
But maybe baby now the joke's on me

I never gave a damn for nobody's feelings
Ridiculing them was much more appealing
That's how I rolled so gleefully
But maybe baby now the joke's on me
Maybe baby hey the joke's on me

What a mediocre joker and a mean fun-poker
And girl, you know it's true
It sure is queer when that guy in the mirror says
Hey, man, the joke's on you
Ha ha ha

She was the one who shamed me
The great equalizer
Said I was fake, a rake, just a lip exerciser
That's what she said so truthfully
And maybe baby now the joke's on me
Maybe baby hey the joke's on me
Maybe baby yeah the joke's on me
Maybe baby now the joke's on me
