Comedy (Explicit) Lyrics
Comedy (Explicit) - Bo Burnham
Lyrics by：Bo Burnham
Composed by：Bo Burnham
The world is changing
The planet's heating up
What the f**k is going on
Rearranging
It's like everything happened all at once
Um what the f**k 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 f**ked up
Systematic oppression income inequality the other stuff
And there's only one thing that 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 gonna 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 f**k up
I'm bored
I don't wanna do that
There's got to be another way
Yes
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 pay 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 s**t
Should I be joking at 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 s**t
Should I be joking at 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 and now I'm back on my feet
And I'm healing the world with comedy
