Comedy

歌詞

The world is changing The planet's heating up What the fuck is going on? Rearranging It's like everything happened all at once Um, what the fuck is going on? The people rising in the streets, the war, the drought The more I look the more I see nothing to joke about Is comedy over? Should I leave you alone? 'Cause, really who's gonna go for joking at a time like this? Should I be joking at a time like this? I wanna help to leave this world better than I found it And I fear that comedy won't help And the fear is not unfounded Should I stop trying to be funny? Should I give away my money? No! What do I do? Healing the world with comedy The indescribable power of your comedy The world needs direction From a white guy like me? Bingo Who is healing the world with comedy? That's it! The world is so fucked up Systematic oppression Income inequality The other stuff And there's only one thing I can do about it... While... while being paid... and being the center of attention Healing the world with comedy Making a literal difference, metaphorically A Jew walks into a bar And I've saved him a seat That's healing the world with comedy I'm a special kind of white guy I self-reflected and I want to be an agent of change So I am going to use my privilege for the good (Very cool, way to go!) American white guys We've had the floor for at least 400 years So maybe I should just shut the fuck up I'm bored I don't wanna do that There's got to be another way For me to help out without standing on the sidelines Never! The wait is over! I'm white, and I'm here to save the day! Lord help me channel Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side Sandra Bullock! Healing the world with comedy Making a literal difference, metaphorically And yes, most likely they'll pa me But I'd do it for free I am healing the world with: Comedy If you wake up in a house that's full of smoke Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke If you see white men dressed in white cloaks Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke Oh shit, should I be joking in a time like this? If you start to smell burning toast You're having a stroke or overcooking your toast If you wake up in a house that's full of smoke Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke If you see white men dressed in white cloaks Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke Oh shit, should I be joking in a time like this? Somebody help me out, cause I don't know And I want to help to leave this world better than I found it And I fear that comedy won't help And the fear is not unfounded Should I stop trying to be funny? Should I give away my money? No! I know what I gotta do Healing the world with comedy Making a literal difference, metaphorically I swore I'd never be back But now I'm back on my feet And I'm healing the world with comedy
