When bad things happen to bad people
It warms the heart, and soothes a troubled mind
When someone you despise
Meets with their demise
When someone who's a prick, gets sick, and dies...
Schadenfreude schadenfreude
I must admit I'm overjoyed
I heard you're broke and unemployed
I'm blessed with the spirit of schadenfreude
I jumped for joy when I read you'd been arrested
I laughed out loud when I heard you lost your job
I was thoroughly amused
To hear you'd been accused
Extortion and fraud, it all made sense
I had a good laugh at your expense
Schadenfreude schadenfreude
I must admit I'm overjoyed
I heard you're broke and unemployed
I'm blessed with the spirit of schadenfreude
What a joy it was to see you on the tv
They arrested you right there on the 6 o'clock news
I was getting all excited
When they said you'd been indicted
I have to say it made my day
When they put you in cuffs and hauled you away
Schadenfreude schadenfreude
I must admit I'm overjoyed
I heard you're broke and unemployed
I'm blessed with the spirit of schadenfreude
I pinched myself as the foreman read the verdict
I bit my lip when he said guilty as charged
You could say I was elated
To know your new home would be gated
Time to settle the score and pay your dues
In a pair of state issued prison blues
Schadenfreude schadenfreude
I must admit I'm overjoyed
I heard you're broke and unemployed
I'm blessed with the spirit of schadenfreude
In time they let you out of the penitentiary
And soon enough I saw you on the street
I admit it warmed my heart
To see you pushing that shopping cart
I stopped to say hi and give you a buck
Just to get a good look of you down on your luck
I saw your head pop out of that dumpster at the mall
I can't tell you what a pleasure it's been to watch you fall
Talk about karma
We could blame it on big pharma
You know I wouldn't harm a fly,
But I'll raise a glass and toast the day you die
When bad things happen to bad people
It warms the heart, and soothes a troubled mind
When someone you despise
Meets with their demise
When someone who's a prick, gets sick, and dies...
Schadenfreude schadenfreude
I must admit I'm overjoyed
I heard you're broke and unemployed
I'm blessed with the spirit of schadenfreude
