Schadenfreude
Lyricist:Robert Lopez, Jeff Marx
Right now you are down and out And feeling really crappy, I'll say And when I see how sad you are It sort of makes me happy, happy Sorry Nicky human nature nothing I can do
It's schadenfreude Making me feel glad that I'm not you
That's not very nice, Gary! I didn't say it was nice! But everybody does it D'ja ever clap when a waitress falls And drops a tray of glasses yeah And ain't it fun to watch figure skaters falling on their asses? Sure And don'tcha feel all warm and cozy Watching people out in the rain, you bet
That's schadenfreude! People taking pleasure in your pain
Oh, Schadenfreude, huh What's that, some kinda Nazi word? Yup! It's German for happiness at the misfortune of others Happiness at the misfortune of others that is German Watching a vegetarian being told she just ate chicken Or watching a frat boy realize just what he put his dick in Being on the elevator when somebody shouts 'Hold the door!'

No schadenfreude! Fuck you lady, that's what stairs are for
Oh, how about, straight a students getting B's? Exes getting STD's, waking doormen from their naps Watching tourists reading maps, football players getting tackled CEO's getting shackled, watching actors never reach The ending of their Oscar speech
Schadenfreude Schadenfreude Schadenfreude Schadenfreude
The world needs people like you and me Who've been knocked around by fate 'Cause when people see us, they don't want to be us And that makes them feel great Sure, we provide a vital service to society
You and me schadenfreude Making the world a better place Making the world a better place Making the world a better place to be S C H A D E N F R E U D E
