This song from Bo’s Netflix comedy special pokes at pop songs that often include encouraging messages and lyrics, juxtaposing it with lyrics telling the listener to kill themselves.

Essentially, the point of… Read More [Verse 1]

Have you ever felt sad or lonely?

Have you ever felt two feet tall?

Have you ever thought, "Man, if only

I was anybody else at all"

They like to kick you when times get rough

And you give your all but it's not enough

And sticks and stones might break your bones

But words can break your heart

But if you don't know where to go

I'll show you where to start

[Chorus]

Kill yourself, it'll only take a minute

You'll be happy that you did it

Just go over to your oven and shove your head in it

Kill yourself, really you should do it

There's really nothing to it

Just grab a mug and chug a cup of lighter fluid

[Interlude]

Okay, now

I feel like you've pulled back

Maybe it's on account of the fact that I'm telling you to kill yourself over and over again

I'm just trying to make a simple point

That these...that life's toughest problems don't have simple answers

You shouldn't just be brave

You shouldn't just roar

You shouldn't kill yourself

But I understand that

It's a sensitive subject and you're probably just hearing me say that

And I've dealt with s— I don't wanna be insen— look

[Verse 2]

I sound unempathetic

I sound mean and rude

Suicide is an epidemic

And I don't want to be misconstrued

Signs of depression go overlooked

So if you're depressed

Then you need to book a therapy session

Talk about your depression

And let a professional hear it

But if you search for moral wisdom in Katy Perry's lyrics, then

[Chorus]

Kill yourself, it won't be painful

If you are able

To give a little kiss to an oncoming train, you'll

Kill yourself, it's over, mull it

There's a trigger, pull it

Get it through your head, "it" being a bullet

[Outro]

Stick your tongue in a plug

Suck a pipe of exhaust

Make some toast in the tub

Nail yourself to a cross

Hold your breath 'til it's gone

Drink a gallon of mace

Be gay in Iran

Let Oprah sit on your face

Jump off of a bridge

Skinny dip in a flood

Sky dive attached to a fridge

Drink a Haitian guy's blood

Break into the zoo

Give the tiger a shove

Eat a Phillips head screw

Marry Courtney Love

[Spoken]

Don’t kill yourself

[audience laughing]

I-I don’t like explaining jokes that… The joke where I tell everyone to kill themselves might deserve an explanation. Do not! And if you’re offended, do not write a blog. I apologize immediately. Sorry! Right away!
