Bo Burnham - Sad Lyrics
(This is a song about how sad I amJust picture a depressed onion cutting himself.)I met a homeless man named RichIsn't that terribleI saw a flyer for a lost dog and the dog didn't have any legsI saw a diabetic kid trick or treatingI saw a woman who had twelve miscarriages buy a carton of eggsI saw an old man get hit by a trainHe didn't see it in the pouring rainHe didn't hear me shout "look out for the train"Cause i didn't say it(I just thought oh this is gonna be sad.)I saw a man with only one eye in a 3d movieI saw a little boy drop his ice cream cone directly on his mother's corpseI saw a kitten stuck in a tree then the kitten jumped and he hung himselfI saw a kid with red hairI went to a store looking for something to buyBut they only sold paintings of the same sad guyNo wait this store sells mirrorsSee what I did there?Let's RockNoThe world's so *****ing sad broPain, starvation, AidsBut i gotta remember there are good things about it tooLike the fact that none of that is happening to meStill though it's hard not to be sad about itHow do y'all do it?I've been telling you terribly sad things this whole song you haven't been sad at allYou’ve been laughingThat’s it, laughter, it’s the key to everythingIt’s the way to solve all the sadness in the worldI mean, not for people who are actually said, but for the people like us who’ve gotta *****ing deal with ‘em all the timeBeing 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! Yay!I saw an old man slip and fall; what a *****ing idiotI saw a woman at her daughter’s funeralHahaha! Classic comedy!Everything that once was sad is somehow funny nowThe Holocaust and 9/11?Hat shit’s funny 24/7 cause tragedy will be exclusively joked about, because my empathy is bumming me outGoodbye sadness! Hello joy
