There’s a brain damage known as “Witzelsucht” and it means joke addiction.
lyrics
Witzelsucht
Verse 1
Getting caught off guard
The guard's written ritual
Old habits die hard
Didn't know Viagra was habitual
In your dream you swim upstream
Then you start to crawl
It's really nothing at all
No rest left for the wicked....UP!
The fly on the wall started flying off the wall
The phony phone on telly gave you a call
It's a phony telephone, you gotta pick it up
Verse 2
I'd get up in smoke
but I don't smoke in bed
My hair is a joke
that went over my head
PH.D level is a PH level devil
A justice isn't one to judge
Amsterdamnation: a word from Dutch
Wouldn't do it any less, couldn't do it anymore
It's the untouchable that always touch
Found the time, on my watch
I eat the rich with every drink I poor
