They were laughing at the bar
About the girl with a big bu*ts
Saying they'd never seen nothing like that "s*ut"
How could anybody ever thing about being with her?
Joey likes to drink
And when drinks he likes to fight
And his buddies seem to think it makes
For a funny Friday night
When Joey gets all liquored up
He takes a swing and causes a stir
The whole world is full of laughter
But the high is wearing thin
I'm praying someone somewhere gently
Will bring the sadness back in
Underneath the mattress where he keeps his cash
There's a bunch of magazines he calls his secret stash
It's a life that he aint never lived
But man he'd love to give them dice a roll
And every time he flinches while he's flipping through the stack
He tells himself that anything that paper might lack
Is made up by the fact
That every woman here is under his control
All these promises of freedom
In the bondages of sin
Praying someone somewhere gently
Will bring the sadness back in
Everybody aching underneath their skin
All of them are laughing as they're being sworn in
Sworn in to testify, so help them God
Everybody here is having a blast
All these promises of freedom
In the bondages of sin
Praying someone somewhere gently
Will bring the sadness back in
The whole world is full of laughter
But the high is wearing thin
I'm praying someone somewhere gently
Will bring the sadness back in
