The world is changing
The planet's heating up
What the fuck is going on?
Rearranging
Everything's happened all at once
Um, 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?

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!

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

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
