🎶 The Joke song analysis
The song is about feeling like an outsider and being bullied by others. The protagonist is encouraged to not let others steal their joy, despite being treated poorly. The chorus repeats the phrase "let 'em laugh while they can" and suggests that the joke is on those who bully and mistreat others, as they will inevitably face consequences for their actions.
