Right now you are down and out
and feeling really crappy
I'll say
And when I see how sad you are
It sort of makes me
Happy
Happy
Sorry Nicky human nature
Nothing I can do
It's
Schadenfreude
Making me feel glad that I'm not you
Well that's not very nice Gary
I didn't say it was nice
But everybody does it
D'ja ever clap when a waitress falls
and drops a tray of glasses
Yeah
And ain't it fun to watch figure skaters
falling on their asses
Sure
And don'tcha feel all warm and cozy
Watching people out in the rain
You bet
That's
Schadenfreude
People taking pleasure in your pain
Oh Schadenfreude huh
What's that some kinda Nazi word
Yup It's German for
happiness at the misfortune of others
Happiness at the misfortune of others
That is German
Watching a vegetarian being told
she just ate chicken
Or watching a frat boy realize
just what he put his dick in
Being on the elevator
when somebody shouts
Hold the door
No
Schadenfreude
Fuck you lady
that's what stairs are for
Ooh how about
Straight A students getting Bs
Exes getting STDs
Waking doormen from their naps
Watching tourists reading maps
Football players getting tackled
CEOs getting shackled
Watching actors never reach
The ending of their oscar speech
Schadenfreude
Schadenfreude
Schadenfreude
Schadenfreude
The world needs people like you
and me who've been knocked around by fate
'Cause when people see us
they don't want to be us
and that makes them feel great
Sure
We provide a vital service to society
You and me
Schadenfreude
Making the world a better place
Making the world a better place
Making the world a better place
To be
