Nick Blaemire, Daniel J. Watts - Punchline Lyrics

All the pretty glitterati are littering the sidewalk
Busting out of Maseratis while the papparazzi eyes talk
Yeah, we're loving and we're liking and we're doing it so freely
Yeah, we're clicking and we're swiping but we're touching nothing really, yeah

And if the joke's on me does it matter?
Cuz I think the joke's on me
And if the joke's on me does it shatter
Whatever I was trying to be?
So am I just the punchline?
Ha ha, ha ha, I'm the punchline
Ha ha...

All the witty conversations, but nobody is listening
Just the shine of perspiration and everybody's glistening
Yeah I'm home alone and hoping for some righteous validation
That's the moment I notice a new notification

And if the joke's on me does it matter?
Cuz I think the joke's on me (Joke's on me)
And if the joke's on me does it shatter
Our beautiful reality?
Or are we just the punchline?
Ha ha, ha ha, I'm the punchline
Ha ha...

I, I, I, I
Am I, Am I
I, I, I, I
Am I just the punchline?
I, I, I, I
Am I, Am I
I, I, I, I
Am I just the punchline?

Y'all got jokes like Joaquin
Dead folks walking
Zombies, flocking South for winter
Following trends to the center
Of the Twitterverse
Souls in a deathroll
So get a hearse
Can't keep
Feeding on the feed
Cuz hunger's getting worse
Immaculate imagery interspersed
With a knack and tendency
For sapping energy
What we been lacking is symmetry
Needing alignment
We're pretending we're fine
But we be lyin'
We been in dens with lions
They been monitoring all our monetizing
While we idle, idolizing advertising
I don't analyze it, I don't find it that surprising
Google, Sony, Apple and Verizon  
Have been LOLing all the way to the bank
Banking on us
Making mistakes
Making a fuss
Invading the space
Barely taking a breath
Only raising the stakes
Never able to satiate
They taking the piss
We're taking the bait
Great, more fake news at 8

And if the joke's on me does it matter?
Cuz I think the joke's on me (Joke's on me)
And if the joke's on me does it shatter
Our beautiful reality?
Or are we just the punchline?
Ha ha, ha ha, I'm the punchline
Ha ha...
