The Joke's On You, Makayla Lynn, 9 years old

full version of the song available now on itunes http://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/the-jokes-on-you/id441957018?i=441957031
I wrote this song in January 2011 because so many kids are bullied and feel alone. I hope this helps make you feel a little bit better!
:o) Makayla Lynn

Aside from everyone mentioned in the opening and closing credits, thank you to my classmates and teacher, my sister Madison (the bully in the red stripes) and everyone else who helped with this video. The list is endless.

The acoustic version of the song "The Joke's On You" was used only for the purpose of this video and was taped in a home studio in one take!

Lyrics:
You silly girl, thinking you're smart,
you make a few people laugh by breaking one girl's heart.
Oh no, you should have seen,
The way the others looked at you while you were acting so mean.
You smile to think you're cool,
You hide your own insecurities by being so cruel,
but now the joke's on you....
Cause who looks like a fool?

Oh my, you sure do look kinda funny
standing there with that shock on your face.
Oh my, you should have thought of that
when you thought you were better than the human race.
You thought that you could lead them down the wrong path
but now they see right through you, so who's got the last laugh?

You thought you were, funny when you pushed me down,
I felt like a nothing lying on that ground.
But no, back on my feet
I hate to dissappoint you I'm not easily beat.
You smile to think you're wise,
but that look upon your face is just a thin disguise
and now, the joke's on you....
cause who looks like the fool?

Oh my, you sure do look kinda funny
standing there with that shock on your face.
Oh my, you should have thought of that
when you thought you were better than the human race.
You thought that you could lead them down the wrong path
but now they see right through you, so who's got the last laugh?

Someday you'll look back upon this and you'll wonder why,
You had to, make yourself feel bigger, by making other people cry.

Oh my, you sure do look kinda funny
standing there with that shock on your face.
Oh my, you should have thought of that
when you thought you were better than the human race.
You thought that you could lead them down the wrong path
but now they see right through you, so who's got the last laugh?

And still, the joke's on you....
Cause you look like the fool!

i think its strange and unrealistic that a third fourth grade teacher would just on and regular day let those kids get that loud and right an easy assignment on the board :)

hi makayla my name is Macy Lynn and i will be twelve soon. i also write songs and play guitar. i have preformed in front of fifty thousand people before i just wanted to tell you that you have such a unique and beautiful voice that reminds me so much of my self when i was your age. i have been told that i would never make it in the music industry but what i learned from that is to not listen to them because they are just jealous of you. you just have to stay humble and live life to the fullest!!

[rainbowakastel]

Hi Makayla! I really agree " Do what you LOVE, until others LOVE what you do " keep on doing the right things!
