[Verse]

B7/F#             Ab
The comedy of man starts like this
E7                                 
Our brains are way too big for our 
A
mothers' hips
A7                            
And so Nature, she divines this 
    E
alternative
Ab                                
We emerged half-formed and hope 
                            A7
that whoever greets us on the other 
end
A                         E
Is kind enough to fill us in
                    A7             
And, babies, that's pretty much how
                E
 it's been ever since

B7                                
Now the miracle of birth leaves a 
     Ab7
few issues to address
                Db5           
Like, say, that half of us are 
            A
periodically iron deficient
              A7            
So somebody's got to go kill 
                   E
something while I look after the 
kids
          Ab                       
I'd do it myself, but what, are you
                   A7
 going to get this thing its milk?
           A                       
He says as soon as he gets back 
                   E
from the hunt, we can switch
                 A7                
It's hard not to fall in love with 
                 E
something so helpless
          A7                  
Ladies, I hope we don't end up 
            E
regretting this

[Chorus]

E       E7                       
Comedy, now that's what I call 
   A
pure comedy
A7                                
Just waiting until the part where 
Abm
they start to believe
Absus2         Abm
They're at the center of everything
         A                         
And some all-powerful being endowed
      B                B7
 this horror show with meaning

          E
Oh, their religions are the best
E7                                
They worship themselves yet 
  A
they're totally obsessed
A7                          
With risen zombies, celestial 
  Abm            Absus2    
virgins, magic tricks, these 
         Abm
unbelievable outfits
             A
And they get terribly upset
         B
When you question their sacred texts
           B7/F#
Written by woman-hating epileptics

[Otro]

      A
Their languages just serve to 
confuse them
      Am
Their confusion somehow makes them 
more sure
           A
They build fortunes poisoning their 
offspring
             Am
And hand out prizes when someone 
patents the cure
               A
Where did they find these goons they
 elected to rule them?
                 Am
What makes these clowns they idolize
 so remarkable?
                  A
These mammals are hell-bent on 
fashioning new gods
            Am
So they can go on being godless 
animals

[Solo]


[Chorus]

   E       E7                     
Oh comedy, their illusions they 
      A
have no choice but to believe
A7                       Abm
Their horizons that just forever 
recede
Absus2    Abm                   
And how's this for irony, their 
A                       B
idea of being free is a prison of 
beliefs
          B7/F#
That they never ever have to leave

   E       E7                     
Oh comedy, oh it's like something 
       A
that a madman would conceive!
A7                           Abm 
The only thing that seems to make
           Absus2         Abm
 them feel alive is the struggle to 
survive
        A                          
But the only thing that they 
     B
request is something to numb the 
pain with
              B7/F#
Until there's nothing human left

[Otro]
            A
Just random matter suspended in the 
dark
          Am
I hate to say it, but each other's 
all we got
