Bo Burnham
Comedy (Demo)
[Verse 1]
The world is changing
The planet's heating up
What the fuck is going on?
Rearranging
Everything's happened all at once
What the fuck is going on?
The people dying 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?

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna help to leave this world better than I found it
And I fear that comedy won't help, and thе fear is not unfounded
Should I stop trying to be funny?
Should I givе away my money? No

[Chorus]
I'll find a way, man, I gotta find a way
But if I don't, who gives a shit, it's all over anyway
I regret every single joke that I've told
I was young, but lately, being young's getting old
[Bridge]
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 at a time like this?
If you start to smell burning toast
You're having a stroke
Or overcooking your toast
