Avenue Q movie - Schadenfreude lyrics
rate me<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
Right now you are down and out and feeling really crappy<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
I'll say.<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
And when I see how sad you are<br>
It sort of makes me...<br>
Happy!<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
Happy?!<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
Sorry, Nicky, human nature-<br>
Nothing I can do!<br>
It's...<br>
Schadenfreude!<br>
Making me feel glad that I'm not you.<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
Well that's not very nice, Gary!<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
I didn't say it was nice! But everybody does it!<br>
<br>
D'ja ever clap when a waitress falls and drops a tray of glasses?<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
Yeah...<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
And ain't it fun to watch figure skaters falling on their asses?<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
Sure!<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
And don'tcha feel all warm and cozy,<br>
Watching people out in the rain!<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
You bet!<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
That's...<br>
<br>
GARY AND NICKY:<br>
Schadenfreude!<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
People taking pleasure in your pain!<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
Oh, Schadenfreude, huh?<br>
What's that, some kinda Nazi word?<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
Yup! It's German for "happiness at the misfortune of others!"<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
"Happiness at the misfortune of others." That is German!<br>
<br>
Watching a vegetarian being told she just ate chicken<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
Or watching a frat boy realize just what he put his dick in!<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
Being on the elevator when somebody shouts "Hold the door!"<br>
<br>
GARY AND NICKY:<br>
"No!!!"<br>
Schadenfreude!<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
"Fuck you lady, that's what stairs are for!"<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
Ooh, how about...<br>
Straight-A students getting Bs?<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
Exes getting STDs!<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
Waking doormen from their naps!<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
Watching tourists reading maps!<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
Football players getting tackled!<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
CEOs getting shackled!<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
Watching actors never reach<br>
<br>
GARY AND NICKY:<br>
The ending of their oscar speech!<br>
Schadenfreude!<br>
Schadenfreude!<br>
Schadenfreude!<br>
Schadenfreude!<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
The world needs people like you and me who've been knocked around by fate.<br>
'Cause when people see us, they don't want to be us, and that makes them feel great.<br>
<br>
NICKY:<br>
Sure! <br>
We provide a vital service to society!<br>
<br>
GARY AND NICKY:<br>
You and me!<br>
Schadenfreude!<br>
Making the world a better place...<br>
Making the world a better place...<br>
Making the world a better place...<br>
To be!<br>
<br>
GARY COLEMAN:<br>
