Lyrics

In reality
There's nothing much more sad than drinking
To have to so slowly topple my temple to earth
The thought of facing your quieting eyes sober
Makes for too hard a world when my body's made of thin glass

Comedy must be violent
We have to learn to laugh

In reality
Laughter is always a guardrail
Where fear wants you standing at least 50 yards from the edge
To understand fear, we all must look deep in the valley
Or evil will reach down inside you, and pull itself out

Comedy must be violent
We have to learn to laugh

We have to learn to laugh
Isn't that sad?

In reality
Holding the door for your neighbor
Won't gain you more favor than stealing their internet
The patience to tolerate blatant inconsideration
Makes for too long a life, when we've just got time for the one

Comedy must be violent
We have to learn to laugh
We have to learn to laugh
We have to learn to laugh

We have to learn to laugh
Isn't that sad?
