Gay Jokes
Rio Romeo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I stayed in bed all day, and it won't go away
I'll put on a show for your entertainment
It's a coping strategy, and so I don't try to tame it
Here's some humor, here's some thought
I'll tell some jokes, I have a lot
I got disowned the other day
And now I'm homeless in LA
My life was wrecked by being gay
I'm despised by my mother
Baby butch I won't recover
My head feels a little bit underground
The joke is gone, thе jig is up, I'm officially out
I guess I'll sing some more, I don't havе shit to do
So hear me out ya little fucks I'll sing for you
Here's some humor, here's some thought
I'll tell some jokes, I have a lot
I got disowned the other day
And now I'm homeless in LA
Here's some humor for you today
My life was wrecked by being gay
I'm despised by my mother
Baby butch I won't recover
And although everything has kind of gone to shit
I know I can laugh and still joke about it
It sounds funnier when it's in my head
You look uncomfortable, but laugh along instead
There's no shame in making situations light
As long as I can sleep halfway through the night
It may not be so funny to you all
But know I am having quite a fucking ball
Here's some humor, here's some thought
I'll tell some jokes, I have a lot
I got disowned the other day
And now I'm homeless in LA
Here's some humor for you today
My life was wrecked by being gay
I'm despised by my mother
Baby butch I won't recover

I hope some moments are genuine joy for you
I hope every grumpy cat you met is super nice to you
I hope you make a lot of money soon
I hope your Mother realizes you’re her child and she is supposed to love you
And that’s all I can do, all I can do is hope for you and for me that the best happens to us
Because God isn’t real but every second of mental pain we experience is
But most of all I hope you know that there is someone out there hoping you’re doing better every day

The best part is the "I got disowned the other day" tossed in as if it's supposed to be taken as part of a joke.
