It meant a lot to me then, it matters less to me now 
 And any pleasure derived 
 Was knowing that they'd never feel as good 
 As a badge pinned on a thrift store coat that smelled of sauerkraut and cloves 
    An angry customer's face 
 Confused because they didn't get their way 
 Is something they would never allow 
 But they have to allow 
 Because this pitiful exchange will be the sole high point of our day   
 I guess I'll keep on chuckling 'til there's no more breath in my lungs 
 And it really doesn't matter at all 
 Ha ha   
 War, and rumors of war 
 Clouds of poison in the sky and poison in the soil 
 Lord, how I wish there was a better ending to this joke   
 It meant a lot to me then, it matters less to me now 
 All calls are answered 
 It's no bother, I just wanted to talk 
 To the direct marketer from Bangalore or was it Mahabalipuram?   
 He tried to sell me on a credit card 
 I asked about the weather and whether his life was hard 
 You say your name is Lazlo? 
 I don't think that is true 
 Because Yar, I know a Lazlo 
 And he doesn't sound half as smart as you   
 I guess I'll keep on chuckling 'til there's no more breath in my lungs 
 And it really doesn't matter at all 
 Ha ha   
 War, and rumors of war 
 Clouds of poison in the sky and poison in the soil 
 Lord, how I wish there was a better ending to this joke   
 War, and rumors of war 
 Clouds of poison in the sky and poison in the soil 
 Lord, how I wish there was a better ending to this joke
