Spoof of My Life

I thought I had quite a story,
not so much filled with guts and glory,
but semi-rich with substance
and less shallow than mainstream,
Maybe not as deep as a hundred fathoms,
and people don’t know me from Adam,
but my doppleganging face ain’t really
what it’s come to mean
It’s not funny as it seems

It’s just so uncool
and such a fucked up thing to do
I hope my sense of humor’s
ready to survive
The writers took my tale
and convinced me it’s gone stale
and turned my lifelong feature
into comedy
in a spoof of my life
It’s a spoof of my life!

My life’s gone into syndication,
the laughingstock of a streaming nation,
all over TikTok, YouTube
and I think Netflix too
Maybe Jagger gets to have his satisfaction,
but, I get this small laughing fraction
of the latest punchline
getting all the rave reviews
even though there’s bigger news

I won’t get an Emmy nomination,
but come up in your feed
and in your rotation
of suggested comedies
based on what makes you laugh
They’re running me on
every frickin’ TV station
so please spare me your congratulations,
fame’s engravings carved on me
like some timeless epitaph,
or my phony autograph

It’s just so uncool
and such a fucked up thing to do
I hope my sense of humor’s
ready to survive
The writers took my tale
and convinced me it’s gone stale
and turned my lifelong feature
into comedy
in a spoof of my life
Whoah-oh, whoah-oh,
It’s a spoof of my life
Whoah-oh, yeah, yeah,
It’s a spoof of my life!
