This first song is called "A World on Fire"

AHHH!! AHHHHH!!!

This next song is a little bit longer than that one

It's really sad, it's about how sad I am, it's called "Sad"

Get on my level, Madison

Picture a depressed onion cutting itself

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, "Oh this is gonna be sad"

And it was. I'm a genius

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 itself

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 are 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 who are actually sad

But for the people like us who’ve gotta f**king 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 f**king 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 sh*t’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
