Verse 2
The comedy of man (A major) starts (G sharp major) like this
Our brain (D major) s are way too big
for our (A major) mother's hips
And so Nature, she divines this alternative (E major)
We (G sharp major) emerged half- formed and hope
that whoever greets us on the (A major) other end
Is kind enough to fill us in (E major)
And, babies, that's (A major) pretty much
how it's been ever since (E major)

Verse 3
(D sharpdim) Now the miracle of birth leaves
a few (G sharp major) issues to address
Like, say, that (G sharpdim) half of us
are peri (D major) odically iron defi (A major) cient
So somebody's got to go kill something
while I (E major) look after the kids
I'd do (G sharp major) it myself, but what,
are you going to get this thing (A major) its milk?
He says as soon as he gets back from the hunt,
we can switch (E major)
It's hard not to (A major) fall in love
with something so helpless (E major)
Ladies, I (A major) hope we don't end
up regretting this (E major)
Verse 4
(E major) Comedy, now that's what
I call pure (A major) comedy
Just waiting until the part where
(G sharp minor) they start to believe
They're at the center
of everything (B major)
And some (A major) all- powerful being endowed
this (B major) horror show with meaning
Verse 5
Oh, their re (E major) ligions are the best
They worship themselves
yet they're totally (A major) obsessed
With risen zombies, celestial vir (G sharp minor) gins,
magic tricks, these unbelievable outfit (D sharp major) s
And (D sharp minor) they get ter (A major) ribly upset
When you question (B major) their sacred texts
Written by woman- hating epileptics (E major)
(A major) Their
Verse 6
languages just serve
to confuse them
Their con (A minor) fusion somehow makes
them more sure
(A major) They build fortunes poisoning
their offspring
And hand out (A minor) prizes when someone
patents the cure
Where did they (A major) find these goons
they elected to rule them?
What makes these clowns (A minor) they
idolize so remarkable?
These mammals are (A major) hell- bent
on fashioning new gods
So they can (A minor) go on being godless animals
Interlude 1

(Cdim) (A major)
Verse 7
Oh (E major) comedy, their illusions they have
no choice (A major) but to believe
Their horizons that just forever (G sharp minor) recede
(D sharp major) (G sharp minor) And how's this for irony,
(D sharp minor) their idea (D sharpdim) (F sharp minor) of being free is a prison (B major) of beliefs
That they never ever have to leave
Verse 8
Oh (E major) comedy
Oh it's like something that a
mad (A major) man would conceive!
The only thing that seems to make (G sharp minor) them feel
alive (D sharp major) (G sharp minor) is the struggle to survive (D sharp major)
But the only thing (F sharp minor) that they request (A major)
(F sharp minor) is something to (B major) numb the pain with
Until there's nothing human left (B major)
Just random mat (A major) ter suspended in the dark
I hate to say it, (A minor)
Outro 1
but each other's all we got
(A minor)
