Artist/Band: Faith No More
Lyrics for Song: I Started A Joke
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Faith No More



I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
oh but I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.

and I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

and I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, curseing my head from things that I'd said.

Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

and I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, cursing my head from things that I'd said.

'Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was one me.


I Started A Joke

Faith No More's 'I Started A Joke' stands as a defining track from their 1987 debut album, Angel Dust. The song exemplifies the band's unique fusion of alternative metal and funk, driven by Mike Patton's distinctive vocal delivery and a complex, syncopated rhythm section. Released during the height of the grunge movement, the record captured a moment of chaotic energy that set the band apart from their contemporaries. The track features a memorable guitar solo by Mike Patton and remains a staple of their discography, showcasing their ability to blend technical proficiency with raw, theatrical performance. It is widely recognized as a pivotal work in the evolution of alternative rock and continues to be celebrated for its innovative sound and enduring influence on the genre.
