Letra de Comedy - Bo Burnham

The world is changing

The planet's heating up

What the fuck is going on? (Recorded laughter)

Rearranging

It's like everything happened all at once

Um, what the fuck is going on? (Recorded laughter)

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 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 four-hundred 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 (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, 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

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?

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
