LYRICS

You don’t pay me to be happy
You don’t pay me to have fun
We all need entertainment
Watching others come undone

My childhood wasn’t easy
It made me who I am
It helps to sell the tickets
Come and get ‘em while you can

Tragedy, tragedy for sale
Tragedy, tragedy for sale
Come see the train wreck I’ve become
And when the show is done
The tragedy goes on

The shittier I feel
The better is the show
It costs a little extra
To watch me break from the front row

A million people know me
But we don’t talk on the phone
I can’t make conversation
But I can bare my soul

Tragedy, tragedy for sale
Tragedy, tragedy for sale
Come see the train wreck I’ve become
And when the show is done
The tragedy goes on

You can find me in the spotlight
You can find me in the mud
It’s the price I’m willing to pay
For a bit of your love

A little fame won’t help you
Resolve the matters of the soul
Still we all dream of being
Recognized at the shopping mall

They cheered for my beginning
They’ll cheer for my demise
Every two dozen roses
Comes with a side order of fries

Tragedy, tragedy for sale
Tragedy, tragedy for sale
Come see the train wreck I’ve become
And when the show is done
The tragedy goes on
