♫ The comedy of man starts like this
♫ Our brains are way too
big for our mother's hips
♫ And so, nature, she
devised this alternative
♫ We emerge half-formed and
hope whoever greets us on
♫ The other end
♫ Is kind enough
♫ To fill us in
♫ And, babies, that's pretty
much how it's been ever since
♫ Now the miracle of birth
leaves a few issues to address
♫ Like say that half of us are
periodically iron deficient
♫ So somebody's gotta go kill something
♫ While I look after the kids
♫ I'd do it myself, but what
♫ Are you gonna get this thing its milk
♫ He says as soon as he
gets back from the hunt
♫ We can switch
♫ It's hard not to fall in
love with something so helpless
♫ Ladies, I hope we don't
end up regretting this
♫ Comedy
♫ Now that's what I call pure comedy
♫ Just wait until the part
where they start to believe
♫ They're at the center of everything
♫ And some all powerful being
♫ Endowed this horror show with meaning
♫ Oh their religions are the best
♫ They worship themselves
yet they're totally obsessed
♫ With risen zombies,
celestial virgins, magic tricks
♫ These unbelievable outfits
♫ And they get terribly upset
♫ When you question their sacred texts
♫ Written by woman-hating epileptics
♫ Their languages just
serve to confuse them
♫ Their confusion somehow
makes them more sure
♫ They build fortunes
poisoning their offspring
♫ And hand out prizes when
someone patents a cure
♫ Where did they find these
goons they elected to rule them
♫ What makes these clowns
they idolize so remarkable
♫ These mammals are hell-bent
on fashioning new gods
♫ So they can go on being godless animals
(upbeat music)
♫ Oh comedy
♫ Their illusions they've
no choice but to believe
♫ Their horizons that just forever recede
♫ And how's this for irony
♫ Their idea of being free
♫ Is a prison of beliefs
♫ That they never ever have to leave
♫ Oh comedy
♫ Oh it's like something
that a madman would conceive
♫ The only thing that seems
to make them feel alive
♫ Is the struggle to survive
♫ But the only thing that they request
♫ Is something to numb the pain with
♫ Until there's nothing human left
♫ Just random matter
♫ Suspended in the dark
♫ I hate to say it
♫ But each other's all we've got
