Steve Taylor - Comedian lyrics

The saints came marching in this morning And they marched back out the door Wholly offended No pun intended They gave up God for Lent and liked it Declared civilian war No one's relented No pun intended And I'll be doing stand-up here all week I've learned to sign So the deaf can watch me speak The saints came marching back this evening And they fell right through the floor That number's ended No pun intended The Amen Coroner's marching orders Got nailed to my front door They're all amended No pun intended The King of the One Liners had us thrilled Then came the punchline Now we want Him k**ed And when he's gone Gone Who gets the mic If it's on? The buzzards are attacking Our prayer kites We lost the air war Now we're losing squatter's rights And when they're gone Gone We'll need a new Comedian (Man makes plans, God laughs) (Man makes plans, God laughs) (Man makes plans, God laughs) (Man makes plans, God laughs) The King and I began a feud That time will not erase Until He wipes that omniscient smile Off his face The King and I are in a feud That time will not erase Until You wipe that omniscient smile Off your face And when it's gone Gone It's open mic Is this on? And didn't I thank you from the dais? And didn't I do you good? And didn't I take up all your crosses That were made of balsa wood? I've kept my demons pent up so long The devil himself lost track I've since repented No pun intended We stormed the stage And occupied your place To wipe that all-forgiving smile Off Your face It's been there so Long Please welcome back The first, the last Comedian Comedian (Man makes plans, God laughs) (Man makes plans, God laughs) (Man makes plans, God laughs) (Man makes plans, God laughs) (Man makes plans, God laughs) (Man makes plans, God laughs) (Man makes plans...)
