[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
