Spoken 

The world's so sad, bros. Pain, genocide, war, sexism, racism 
But I've gotta remember there's good things about it too 
Like the fact that none of that's happening to me! Score! Still 
Though, it's hard not to be sad about it. How do y'all do it? I've 
Been telling you guys terribly sad things this whole song; you 
Haven't been sad at all. You've been--you've been happy--no 
You've been laughing. That's it, laughter, it's the key to everything 
It's the way to solve all the sadness in the world! I mean not for the 
People that are actually sad, but the people like us that've gotta 
Fucking deal with them all the time. Being a comedian isn't being 
An insensitive prick capitalizing on the most animalistic impulses 
Of the public; it's being a hero. The world isn't sad. The world's 
Funny! I'm a sociopath! 

         C                 F 
I saw an old man slip and fall 
Am                  G 
Hey, what a fucking idiot 
        C                       F 
I saw a woman at her daughter's funeral 
Am        G 
Ha ha ha. Classic comedy 
C                        F 
Everything that once was sad 
Am         G 
Is somehow funny now 
     C            F 
The Holocaust and 9/11 
Am                G 
That shit's funny 24/7, cuz 
E                  F         C      G 
Tragedy will be exclusively joked about 
            E                    F      C 
Because my empathy is bumming me out 
          G        E 
Goodbye, sadness
