Verse 1
(D minor) The world is changing
(C sharpaug) The planet's heating up (F/C)
What the fuck is going (G major) on?
(D minor) Rearranging,
(C sharpaug) it's like everything happened all at once (F/C)
Um, what the fuck is going (G major) on?
(B flat major) The people rising (C major) in the streets, (F major)
the war, (D minor) (C major) the drought
(B flat major) The more I look (C major)
the more I see (F major) nothing to joke (D minor) (C major) a bout
(B flat major) Is comedy over? (C major)
(F major) Should I leave you alone? (D minor)
'Cause, really (C major) who's gonna go (B flat major) for joking
at a (C major) time like this?
(F major) Should I be joking at a (D minor) time like (F/A) this?
Pre-chorus 1
I (B flat major) wanna help to leave (C major) this world
(F major) better than I found (D minor) it (C major)
And I (B flat major) fear that comedy (C major) won't help
And the (F major) fear is not unfounded (D minor) (C major)
Should I (B flat major) stop trying to be funny? (C major)
Should I (A/C#) give away my (D minor) money? (C major) No
(B flat major) (B flat minor) What do I do?

Interlude 1
That's it
(D minor) (C major) The world is (F major) so fucked up
(D minor) (C major) Systematic oppression
(B flat major) Income inequality (G minor)

(E flat major) While, while being (B flat major) paid

I'm a special kind of white guy (C major)

(Very cool, way to go!)

So maybe I should just (B flat major) shut the fuck up (G minor)
Verse 3
I'm bored
(D minor) I don't wanna do (C major) that
(F major) There's got to be (D minor) another way (C major)

without (B flat major) standing on the sidelines (G minor)
Never!
(D minor) The wait is o (C major) ver
(F major) I'm white, and I'm here (D minor) to save the day! (E flat major)
Lord help me channel Sandra (B flat major) Bullock
in The Blind Side

(Sandra Bullock!)
(D minor) Healing (C major) the world (F major) with come (D minor) dy
(C major) Making a literal difference, (B flat major) meta (G minor) phorically
