intro

It's about how sad I am.
And I'm really sad, so it's called "Sad"
It's about all the sad stuff
Just picture a depressed onion cutting itself.

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, guys, 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 the 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!

 Am what a fucking  G idiot
 C I saw a woman at her daughter's  F funeral.
 Am Ha ha ha! Classic  G comedy!
 C Everything that once was  F sad
 Am is somehow funny  G now
 C The Holocaust and  F 9/11
 Am That shit's funny  G 24/7
' Em Cause tragedy  F will be exclusively C  joked about G ,
 Em Because my empathy is  F bumming me out
Goodbye Em , sadness C ! Hello, jokes G .
