R.E.M. - The Worst Joke Ever Lyrics
You see there's this cat burglar who can't see in the dark.
He lays his bets on 8 more lives, walks into a bar.
Slips on the 8 ball, falls on his knife.
Says, "I don't know what I've done, but it doesn't feel right!"
When's the first time you heard that one, 1954?
Get to the punch line. fall to the floor.
Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup for
The worst joke ever, I never
I'll tell you my version of the greatest life story
Don't bore me
Now I am floating,
I feel released.
The weights unleashed.
Everything is crystalline, simple and free.
The crime of good men who can't wrestle with change,
Or are too afraid to face this life's misjudged unknowns
You're not hurting anybody else's chances,
But you're disfiguring your own.
Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup for
The worst joke ever, I never
I'll tell you my version of the greatest life story
Don't bore me, I NEVER
Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup
You see there's this feeling that I've heard this one before

You’d be surprised, I can think of a lot of really bad jokes lol
People all said this was a crap album so I never gave it a chance when it came out.. but it's some of their best work. This song is gorgeously sad.

the best ever

jadonx even Peter Buck said it was a boring album
Even though the album is definitely in their bottom three, the album isn't as bad as people say it is, and it has some really nice moments.
