Tragedy for Sale lyrics

[Verse 1]
You don't pay me to be happy
You don't pay me to have fun
We all need entertainment
Watching others come undone

[Verse 2]
My childhood wasn't easy
It made me who I am
It helps to sell the tickets
Come and get them while you can

[Chorus]
Tragedy, tragedy for sale
Tragedy, tragedy for sale
Come see the train wreck I've become
And when the show is done the tragedy goes on

[Verse 3]
The sh*ttier I feel
The better is the show
It costs a little extra
To watch me break from the front row

[Verse 4]
A million people know me
But we don't talk on the phone
I can't make conversation
But I can bare my soul
[Chorus]
Tragedy, tragedy for sale
Tragedy, tragedy for sale
Come see the train wreck I've become
And when the show is done the tragedy goes on

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 5]
You can find me in the spot light
You can find me in the mud
It's the price I'm willing to pay
For a bit of your love

[Verse 6]
A little fame won't help you
Resolve the matters of the soul
Still we all dream of being
Recognized at the shopping mall

[Verse 7]
They cheered for my beginning
They'll cheer for my demise
Every two dozen roses
Comes with a side order of fries
[Chorus]
Tragedy, tragedy for sale
Tragedy, tragedy for sale
Come see the train wreck I've become
And when the show is done the tragedy goes on
