LYRICS:
The comedy of man starts like this:
Our brains are way too big for our mother’s hips
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 his 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

Their religions are the best
They worship themselves but they’re totally obsessed
With risen zombies, celestial virgins, magic tricks
In these unbelievable outfits
And they get terribly upset
If you question their sacred texts 
Written by woman-hating epileptics

Their languages just tend to confuse them
Their confusion somehow makes them more sure
Now they’re much too bright for the old superstitions 
But they’re yet to find a new one they won’t serve

Where did they find these clowns they elected to rule them
They recline in outrage at the 
These mammals are hell-bent on fashioning new gods
So they can go on being godless animals

Comedy
Their illusions that are all that they can see
Their horizons that just forever recede
How’s this for irony:
Their idea of being free
Is a prison of beliefs
They’ve every right to never leave

Comedy
It’s like something that a madman would conceive
The only thing that seems to makes 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
Hate to say it, but each other’s all we’ve got

Pure Comedy

Dutch Uncles - Oh Yeah (C Duncan Remix)

well i’m sitting behind my desk in washington dc

and everyone on cable news is yelling at me 

cuz there’s only one place that i wanna go 

that’s down underneath the florida sun in mar a lago 

So call up the tower and tell my wife and son 

have the taxpayers fuel of the air force one 

put in place the press embargo 

gotta be left alone to fun and sun in mar a lago 

Ma - A Lago I hope the ocean don’t swallow 

Like some some say they know if will some day 

Mar -A Lago I hope the ocean don’t swallow 

Like some say they know it will some day 


The senators and congressmen  telling me what to do 

How am I supposed to know if any of its true

Sure I like to get on the mic and gin up the crowd

But I'd rather be on the tee where those folks aren't allowed 

Ma - A Lago I hope the ocean don’t swallow 

Like some some say they know if will some day 

Mar -A Lago I hope the ocean don’t swallow 

Like some say they know it will some day 

And it makes me feel like I got a real big penis

Playing golf with retired baseball stars 

And it makes me feel like I got a real big penis

Everything is gold

Even the toilet bowls

Mar a lago!

And on Saturdaynight when Melanie's fast asleep

I tip toe to the only room where I really wanna be

Crawling to beautiful king size bed 

and snuggle in between my loves the Vanka and Jarred

And the Sunday comes and my boss tells me we gotta go back 

Home  to the haunted mansion where pretty soon I'm gonna crack 

But for now I guess I play my part in this puppet show

And keep my eye on the weekend where I can go to mar a lago
