The Funny Ones

The sun is on our side
Everything's always bright
We are the funny ones
We are the ones that are alright

We're alright

Good morning world, so nice to see you
Good morning friend, please smile for me
We'll crack a joke or two for you
And laugh until you're full of glee

The sun is on our side
Everything's always bright
We are the funny ones
We are the ones that are alright

They usually like when I'm around
Because I tend to make them smile
I'll make light of everything
So you're glad you're alive for a while

The sun is on our side
Everything's always bright
We are the funny ones
We are the ones that are alright

We are the happiest of all
Oh, just please don't look too close
They can't see laughter is our wall
And we are not as fine as most

See,
We always smile like we're strong
So no one ever thinks anything's wrong
Maybe I don't want you to hear my real song
Maybe I don't want you to hear my real song
I'll make you laugh so you stay alive
She makes you smile 'cause she knows what it's like
To be all alone and do nothing but cry
And he's the funniest boy, but I've seen tears in his eyes
The jesters are the most sensitive ones
We put on this mask so you all look at us
That's the paradox of them and of me
Everyone looks, but nobody sees
See?
My momma said I was born with Daddy's wit
So I turned it around and hid under it
'Cause when you make it light,
They think everything's fine,
But I'm not sure that that's what I really wanted
But the thing about us is we see through each other
That's why that one there always felt like my brother
Why I make sure she's okay, as though I'm her mother
And that's why compared to you there was never another
When you're both jokers, you see through each other.

The sun is on our side
Everything's always bright
We are the funny ones
The ones that always hide


We're alright.
