Find the Funny

it's everywhere

you can't just wait for funny to happen

you have to be a part of the process

you can't just wait for the funny to be done

you've got to find it yourself

yes my sense of humour is dark

and as such my boundaries are few

my imagination

can be a little warped

(a nice way of saying fucked up)

on account of the lean

in the skew

that doesn't make me a comedian

that doesn't make me a star

i didn’t shoot the premier

but i did throw rocks at his car

it was a handful of unsealed aggregate

cause my local council tends to do shit work

ya gotta find the funny

ya gotta make the mirth

everything is funny

just to escape the dearth

at the end of the day

plain and fuckin simple i tell no lie

you have to be able to laugh at everything

because if you don't you'll cry

everything is funny

in one way or another

from the jokes your dad tells

or the ones about your mother

everything has humour in it

from the gallows to the gutter

from the tallow to the butter

and inside your local nutter

.
