Pagliacci ("hilarious World Of Depression") Lyrics - Rhett Miller

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
