Because I didn't say anything.

I just thought to myself, "Ooh, this is gonna be sad."
C chordC F chordF C/G chordC/G Em chordEm
And it was.

See what I did there?

C chordC Em chordEm F chordF Fm chordFm
C chordC Em chordEm F chordF Fm chordFm (repeat through spoken section until...

C chordC Em chordEm F chordF G chordG the last chord progression of spoken
section, ending with the G chordG on "I'm a
sociopath!".)

SPOKEN:
The world's so sad, bros. Pain, genocide, war, sexism, racism.
But I've gotta remember there's good things about it too.
Like the fact that none of that's happening to me! Score! Still,
though, it's hard not to be sad about it. How do y'all do it? I've
been telling you guys terribly sad things this whole song; you
haven't been sad at all. You've been--you've been happy--no,
you've been laughing. That's it, laughter, it's the key to everything.
It's the way to solve all the sadness in the world! I mean not for the
people that are actually sad, but the people like us that've gotta
fucking deal with them all the time. Being a comedian isn't being
an insensitive prick capitalizing on the most animalistic impulses
of the public; it's being a hero. The world isn't sad. The world's
funny! I'm a sociopath!

C chordC F chordF
I saw an old man slip and fall
Am chordAm G chordG
Hey, what a fucking idiot
C chordC F chordF
I saw a woman at her daughter's funeral
Am chordAm G chordG
Ha ha ha. Classic comedy.
C chordC F chordF
Everything that once was sad
Am chordAm G chordG
Is somehow funny now
C chordC F chordF
The Holocaust and 9/11
Am chordAm G chordG
That shit's funny 24/7, cuz
E chordE F chordF C chordC G chordG
Tragedy will be exclusively joked about
E chordE F chordF C chordC
Because my empathy is bumming me out
G chordG E chordE
Goodbye, sadness
C chordC F chordF C/G chordC/G Em chordEm C chordC
Hello jokes.
