I knew a girl
She was on top of the world
You could say that she had it going on
She'd say
Hey, hey, hey get out of my way
She looked at you like you were a pawn
Then one day, well, she got killed
Someone somewhere got their wish fulfilled
Schadenfreude
I knew a boy
He was so full of joy
So much so it made you want to puke
He bought and sold
Turned his trash into gold
You thought it was some sort of fluke
Then one day, well, his house burned down
I don't recall anyone giving up a frown
It's not like I get off on other people's troubles
Please don't think of me as a misanthropic dude
Sometimes it's nice when the world evens out
And I'm not the only one who gets screwed
Once was a king
The king of everything
He didn't give a shit how his people suffered
He lived high on the hog
Treated his servant like a dog
Yes he had himself pretty well buffered
One day, well, he choked to death on a bone
Across the land a big old party was thrown
