Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The world is changing
[E]The planet's heating up[C]
What the fuck is [D]going on?
[Am]Rearranging,
[E]it's like everything happened all at onc[C]e
Um, what the fuck is [D]going on?
[F]The people ris[G]ing in the str[C]eets,
the [Am]war, [G]the drought
[F]The more I loo[G]k
the more I see [C]nothing to [Am]joke [G]a bout
[F]Is comedy ove[G]r?
[C]Should I leave you alon[Am]e?
'Cause, really [G]who's gonna [F]go for joking
at a [G]time like this?
[C]Should I be joking at a tim[Am]e like thi[C]s?

[Pre-chorus 1]
I [F]wanna help to [G]leave this world
[C]better than I [Am]found [G]it
And I [F]fear that come[G]dy won't help
And the [C]fear is not un[Am]founded[G]
Should I [F]stop trying to be [G]funny?
Should I [E]give away my [Am]money? [G]No
[F]Wha[Fm]t do I do?

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Healing the [G]worl[C]d with comedy[Am]
[G]The indescribable pow[F]er of your com[Dm]edy
[Am]The world needs di r[G]ecti[C]on
From a white guy [Am]like [Bb]me? (Bingo)
Who is healing the [F]world with comedy?

[Interlude 1]
That's it
[Am]The [G]world is so fu[C]cked up
[Am]Syst[G]ematic oppression
[F]Income [Dm]inequality
[Am]The other stuf[G]f
[C]And there's only one thing
that I can [Am]do about it
[Bb]While, while being[F] paid

[Chorus 2]
and being the center of attention
[Am]Healing the [G]worl[C]d with comedy[Am]
[G]Making a literal dif[F]ference, metapho[Dm]rically
[Am]A Jew walks into a bar[G][C]
And I've saved him [Am]a sea[Bb]t
That's healing the [F]world with comedy

[Verse 2]
I'm a special kind of white [G]guy
[C]I self-reflected and I wanna be[Am]
an agent of [G]change
So I am gonna use [Am]my privilege f[F]or the good
(Very cool, way to go!)
[Am]American white guys[G]
[C]We've had the floor for at least 400[Am] yea[Bb]rs
So maybe I should just [F]shut the fuck [Dm]up

[Verse 3]
I'm bored
[Am]I don't wanna do that[G]
[C]There's got to be ano[Am]ther way[G]
For me to help [Am]out
without [F]standing on the [Dm]sidelines
Never!
[Am]The wait is over[G]
[C]I'm white, and I'm here to [Am]save the day![Bb]
Lord help me channel Sandra [F]Bullock
in The Blind Side

[Chorus 3]
(Sandra Bullock!)
[Am]Healing the [G]worl[C]d with comedy[Am]
[G]Making a literal dif[F]ference, metapho[Dm]rically
[Am]And yes, most likely, they[G]'ll pay [C]me
But I'd do it [Am]for [Bb]free
I am healing the [F]world with comedy

[Bridge 1]
[F]If you wake up in a hou[C]se
that's full of [G]smoke
Don't panic, [Am]call me and I'll [G]tell you a [F]joke
If you see [C]white men dressed in white [G]cloaks
Don't panic, [Am]call me and I'll [Em]tell you a [F]joke
Oh [C]shit, [E]should I be joking at a tim[Am]e like thi[G]s?
[F]If you sta[C]rt to smell burning toa[G]st
You're having a [Am]stroke
or over[G]cooking your [F]toast
If you wake up in a [C]house
that's full of [G]smoke
Don't panic, [Am]call me and I'll [G]tell you a [F]joke
If you see [C]white men dressed in white [G]cloaks
Don't panic, [Am]call me and I'll [G]tell you a [F]joke
Oh [C]shit, [E]should I be joking at a tim[Am]e like thi[G]s?
[F]Somebody help me out,
'cause [Fm]I don't know

[Pre-chorus 2]
And I [F]wanna help to [G]leave this world
[C]better than I [Am]found it
And I [F]fear that come[G]dy won't help
And the [C]fear is not un[G]founded
Should I [F]stop trying to be [G]funny?
Should I [E]give away my [Am]money? No
[F]I k[G]now what I gott[A]a do

[Chorus 4]
[Bm]Healing the [A]worl[D]d with comedy[Bm]
[A]Making a literal dif[G]ference, metapho[Em]rically
[Bm]I swore I'd never be b[A]ack[D]
And now I'm back on [Bm]my f[C]eet
And I'm healing the [G]world with [Em]comedy
