Robert Lopez & Jeff Marx - Schadenfreude lyrics

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 Nikki, human nature, nothing I can do It's Schadenfreude, making me feel glad that I'm not you That's not very nice Gary I didn't say it was nice but everybody does it 'Dya ever clap when a waitress falls And drops a tray of gla**es, yeah And ain't it fun to watch figure skaters Falling on their a**es, sure Don't you 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 kind of 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 an elevator when somebody shouts "Hold the door", oh yeah No, Schadenfreude, f** you lady, that's what stairs are for Ooh, how about straightly student's getting B's, exes getting STD's Waking doormen from their naps, watching tourists reading maps Football players getting tackled, CEO's getting shackled Watching actors never reaching the ending of their Oscar speech Schadenfreude, Schadenfreude, yeah Schadenfreude, ooh, 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 S c h a d e n f r e u d e
