Rhett Miller - Pagliacci ("Hilarious World of Depression") Lyrics

Guy goes in to see a Doc, says
There's something wrong with me I got
a sadness I can't shake now.
Is there something I can take now
Doctor has a think and says he
might know just the thing
There's a performer here in town
and he's the world's greatest clown

Laughter as we all know
is the best medicine
Guy says Doc, that's the problem
What if I was to tell you I'm Pagliacci
This great big smile is just for show
What if I was to tell you
this is just grease paint
Would you say I'm a hopeless case
Say it ain't so
Would you say I'm a sad clown
Tell me something I don't know

Would you say I'm a sad clown
Tell me something I don't know
