Alex Ebert - No Jokes Left lyrics

What keeps me going when the world like this?
I don't know, it's like I'm holding on to
Something like hope I guess
What's a dream if you're never
Really woke but death pardon me
I'm just laughing 'cause there's
No jokes left

Hey, is it too late to not not give a fuck?
The planet is hot, my brain is rotting
My penis is shriveling up
I'm stuck in the house
I'm stuffing my mouth
I haven't seen humans in months
Wait, If this isn't acid, this
Is my last trip, life is a terrible drug
Psychedelic shit
Everything I know is irrelevant
Now that you mention it
Horny and cеlibate, my dick is irrelevant
FacеTime is the closest that we will ever get


To tell you the truth
My brain got no room for a pink ass elephant
Twisted like good rope, hung like good folk
It’s all relatives
Swinging from the branches of the government
Woah

Hey, I'm so woke I forgot to dream
It was something about the top of a mountain
Shit, tighten the noose, it slips my memory
Black blood is raining
Like it’s entertainment
And it’s all a nightmare to me
The future called, it wants 20
20 back if we can Nazi
We so woke we forgot to dream
(This is an awkward scene)
Look, I like categories as much
As the next fantasy
But (Ouch) paging Dr king
Look, unity is soon to be written in an obit
And the only thing that gets
Us together is Covid? (Trash)
Hi, I'm not violent but my words are loaded
Can I borrow sugar to coat 'em? (Mask)

What keeps me going when the world like this?
I don't know, it's like I'm holding
On to something like hope, i guess
What's a dream if you're never
Really woke but death pardon me
I'm just laughing 'cause there's
No jokes left

Today aristocrats chanting "good vibes only"
While the hood dies slowly
In the periphery (Who want to see misery)
Peasants be bumming my pleasantries
Create realities with New Age recipes:
"Get poor people out my space"
Crystals and salads and magic midwifery
This is a symphony - we are all Tiffany
(Face) this is how victory look
This is the system when shook
This is the path that the pathogen took
Power the people
The winners are writing the history books
Fuck all the versus for good
Forever we singing the hook
Sorry I'm late, I was pressing my luck
Is it too late to not not
Not not give a fuck? Uh
The pendulum swings from awful to dumb
And you have to sit there
And let them think they won
And they tend to win nothing but sentiment
100 percent of the time
Not enough to commit them to penitence
So it swings by
Empathy, elegance, righteousness, grace
All made irrelevant, wisdom replaced
With a limitless innocence
Now citizens, feminists to gentlemen
Left to right
I propose we act like night is eminent (Ah)

What keeps me going when the world like this?
I don't know, it's like I'm holding
On to something like hope, i guess
What's a dream if you're never
Really woke but death pardon me
I'm just laughing 'cause there's
No jokes left

What keeps me going, what keeps me going
What keeps me going, what keeps me here
What keeps, what keeps me going
What keeps me going, what keeps me going
What keeps me going, what keeps me going
What keeps me going, what keeps me here
What keeps, what keeps me going
What keeps me going, what keeps me going
What keeps me going, what keeps me going
What keeps me going, what keeps me here
What keeps, what keeps me going
What keeps me going, what keeps me going
