Karaoké Comedy Bo Burnham

The world is changing

The planet's heating up

What the fuck is going on

Rearranging

It's like everything happened all at once

Um, what the fuck is going on

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 'cos 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

Hhh hhh hhh huh hhh hhh hhh

Healing the world with comedy

The indescribable power of your comedy

The world needs direction from a white guy like me 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 wanna be an agent of change

So I am gonna use my privilege for the good

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 gotta be another way

For me to help out without standing on the sidelines

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

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 'cos I don't know

And 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 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
