Clue

 

It's all a joke

And the jokes on you

Time's running out

Let me give you a clue

Time to pay your dues

 

You wanted to believe

So, you looked through

Rose colored glasses

And enjoyed the view

 

Even though you knew

Saw behind the blind

You're the one who suffers

Yet you continue to try

 

See it's all a joke

And the jokes on you

Time's running out

Let me give you a clue

Time to pay your dues

 

All that wrong

Covered with a little right

Hear me I'm telling you

You'll have a hell of a fight

 

You wouldn't believe what

I've been through

But I am telling you

Enough is enough

 

You were such a fool

To believe you could leave

See cruelty is the game

And the only winner

Is the one standing

Despite the pain

 

Cause it was all a joke

And the jokes on you

Times running out

Let me give you a clue

Time to pay your dues.
