[Bo Burnham]
The world is changing
The planet´s heating up
What the fuck is going on?
(Recorded laughter)

Rearranging
It´s like everything happened all at once
Um, what the fuck is going on?
(Recorded laughter)
The people rising in the streets
The war, the drought
The more I look the more I see nothing to joke about
Is comedy over?
Should I leave you alone?
´Cause, really who´s gonna go for joking at a time like this?
Should I be joking at a time like this?

[ Bo Burnham]
I wanna help to leave this world better than I found it
And I fear that comedy won´t help

And the fear is not unfounded
Should I stop trying to be funny?
Should I give away my money? No!
What do I do?

Healing the world with comedy
The indescribable power of your comedy
The world needs direction
From a white guy like me
Bingo
Who is healing the world with comedy
That´s it!

[Bo Burnham]
The world is so fucked up
Systematic oppression
Income inequality
The other stuff

And there´s only one thing I can do about it...
While... while being paid, and being the center of attention

[Bo Burnham]
Healing the world with comedy
Making a literal difference, metaphorically
A Jew walks into a bar
And I´ve saved him a seat
That´s healing the world with comedy

[Bo Burnham]
I´m a special kind of white guy
I self-reflected and I want to be an agent of change
So I am going to use my privilege for the good
(Very cool, way to go!)
American white guys

We´ve had the floor for at least 400 years
So maybe I should just shut the fuck up
(Silence)
I´m bored
I don´t wanna do that
There´s got to be another way (Yes)
For me to help out without standing on the sidelines (Never)
The wait is over!
I´m white, and I´m here to save the day!
Lord help me channel Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side
Sandra Bullock!

[Bo Burnham]
Healing the world with comedy
Making a literal difference, metaphorically
And yes, most likely they´ll pay me

But I´d do it for free
I am healing the world with:
Comedy

[ Bo Burnham]
If you wake up in a house that´s full of smoke
Don´t panic, call me and I´ll tell you a joke
If you see white men dressed in white cloaks
Don´t panic, call me and I´ll tell you a joke
Oh shit, should I be joking in a time like this?
If you start to smell burning toast
You´re having a stroke or overcooking your toast
If you wake up in a house that´s full of smoke
Don´t panic, call me and I´ll tell you a joke
If you see white men dressed in white cloaks
Don´t panic, call me and I´ll tell you a joke
Oh shit, should I be joking in a time like this?
Somebody help me out, ´cause I don´t know

[ Bo Burnham]
And I want to help to leave this world better than I found it
And I fear that comedy won´t help
And the fear is not unfounded
Should I stop trying to be funny?
Should I give away my money? No!

I know what I gotta do-

[Bo Burnham]
Healing the world with comedy
Making a literal difference, metaphorically
I swore I´d never be back
But now I´m back on my feet
And I´m healing the world with comedy
