Bo Burnham - Sad lyrics
[Bo Burnham - Sad lyrics]
This first song is called "A World on Fire"
Ahhh! ahhhhh! This next song is a little bit
Longer than that one, and, uhm
It's about all the sad stuff
I see in the world
And I see a lot of sad stuff
And it's called "Sad"
Get on my level, Madison
Picture a depressed onion cutting it'self
Crying i met a homeless man named Rich
He wasn't, isn't that terrible?
I saw a flyer for a lost dog
And the dog didn't have any legs
I saw a diabetic kid trick or treating
I saw a giraffe who had a short neck
That was sad, or a deer
I saw an old man get hit by a train
He didn't see it in the pouring rain
He didn't hear me shout "Look
Out for the train!"
'Cause, I didn't say anything
I just thought to myself
"Ooh this is gonna be sad"
And it was i'm a genius
Crying
I saw a man with only one eye in a 3D movie
I saw a little boy drop his ice
Cream cone directly on his mother's corpse
I saw a kitten stuck in a tree
Then the kitten jumped off
And he hung it'self
I saw a boy who had red hair
I went to a store looking
For something to buy
But they only sold paintings of
The same sad guy
No, wait! This store sells mirrors
See what I did there? Let's rock!
No
The world's so sad, Madison
Pain, war, genocide, racism, sexism
But, I 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 terribly sad
Things this whole song
You haven't been sad at all
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 people that are actually sad
But for the people like us who’ve gotta
Fucking deal with ‘em 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
Get it now! I'm a sociopath!
I saw an old man slip and fall
What a fucking idiot
I saw a woman at her daughter’s funeral
Hahaha! Classic comedy!
Everything that once was sad
Is somehow funny now the Holocaust and 9
11? That shit’s funny 24
7 'Cause tragedy will be
Exclusively joked about
Because my empathy is bumming me out
Goodbye sadness hello jokes
Thank you very much
