Lyrics:

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
Well, that's not very nice Gary
I didn't say it was nice
But everybody does it
D'ya ever clap when a waitress falls
And drops a tray of glasses (yeah)
And ain't it fun to watch figure skaters
Fallin' on their asses (sure)
Don't ya feel all warm and cozy
Watchin' people out in the rain
That's schadenfreude
People taking pleasure in yo' pain
Schadenfreude? 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 realise
Just what he put his dick in
Being on an elevator when somebody shouts
'Hold the door'
No
Schadenfreude
Fuck you lady that's what stairs are for
Ooh, how about
Straight a student 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 wanna be us
And that makes them feel great
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
