Nothing's Right Side Up
When they tell you to laugh, you'd better weep
When they tell you to laugh, you'd better weep
For the costly kinds of pleasure we insist on getting cheap
When they tell you to laugh, weep
When they tell you to feast, you'd better fast
When they tell you to feast, you'd better fast
With tables full, they'll eat till they are empty as a glass
When they tell you to feast, fast
When the people cried "Hosanna"
The rocks cried out as well
And every shout for heaven was a step closer to hell
Sorrow pierced the Son of Man deeper than tongue can tell
When the people cried "Hosanna"
When they tell you to fast, you'd better feast
When they tell you to fast, you'd better feast
'Cause there's a meal we've not yet tasted where the greatest are the least
When they tell you to fast, feast
And when they tell you to weep, you'd better laugh
When they tell you to weep, you'd better laugh
'Cause the story isn't over, and we hardly know the half
When they tell you to weep, laugh
When the people cried "Hosanna"
The rocks cried out as well
And every shout for heaven was a step closer to hell
Sorrow pierced the Son of Man deeper than tongue can tell
When the people cried "Hosanna"
Nothing's right side up no more
Nothing's right side up
Bad and good both find just what they're looking for
When upside down comes knocking at their door
And upside down is knocking at the door
When they say all hope is lost, you'd better dance
When they say all hope is lost, you'd better dance
'Cause we might still be saved in our ignorance
When they say all hope is lost, dance
When they say all hope is lost
Dance
When they tell you to laugh, you'd better weep
For the costly kinds of pleasure we insist on getting cheap
When they tell you to laugh, weep
When they tell you to feast, you'd better fast
When they tell you to feast, you'd better fast
With tables full, they'll eat till they are empty as a glass
When they tell you to feast, fast
When the people cried "Hosanna"
The rocks cried out as well
And every shout for heaven was a step closer to hell
Sorrow pierced the Son of Man deeper than tongue can tell
When the people cried "Hosanna"
When they tell you to fast, you'd better feast
When they tell you to fast, you'd better feast
'Cause there's a meal we've not yet tasted where the greatest are the least
When they tell you to fast, feast
And when they tell you to weep, you'd better laugh
When they tell you to weep, you'd better laugh
'Cause the story isn't over, and we hardly know the half
When they tell you to weep, laugh
When the people cried "Hosanna"
The rocks cried out as well
And every shout for heaven was a step closer to hell
Sorrow pierced the Son of Man deeper than tongue can tell
When the people cried "Hosanna"
Nothing's right side up no more
Nothing's right side up
Bad and good both find just what they're looking for
When upside down comes knocking at their door
And upside down is knocking at the door
When they say all hope is lost, you'd better dance
When they say all hope is lost, you'd better dance
'Cause we might still be saved in our ignorance
When they say all hope is lost, dance
When they say all hope is lost
Dance
