Open Mike Eagle - Dark Comedy Morning Show lyrics

rate me

Dark comedy cold as the ocean

At a low ‘cause nobody seems to know when I'm joking

For those who haven't heard of me

I'm bad at sarcasm so I work in absurdity

On that laugh to keep from crying tip

Rap like Wyatt vs. Chet in Weird Science

‘Cause my genre's all hack

Actions cliché, melodrama falls flat

And everybody's getting fired

I flew off the handle and boy, are my arms tired

Rap songs like Patch Adams

Shadyac thought of it as art till they laughed at it

Rap songs like Steven Wright

Monotone drone, people wonder if he breathing right

We got that dark, dark comedy

That dark d-dark, dark, dark, d-dark comedy

‘Cause rappers ruin the punchline

Like stand up club hecklers doing the punchline

‘Cause I'll tweet on Sunday morning like a preacher at a church

Because my true religion is the thirst

It's like Burn After Reading

The dark ugly truth that addicts learn at the meetings

Sean already wrote about the modern man

The only other option is the plight of the hologram

It's dark comedy, I would've called it black

If another dude calls me a racist I'mma snap

‘Cause Google knows what's in my cabinet

And Facebook logs all of my favorite sandwiches

And what they need the damn data for

To analyze the shit they'd need a whole 'nother labor force

‘Cause I'm addicted to my celly

And I gotta have some coffee in my belly, you smell me?

There's mad shootings on the news

Unless it's in the Chi ‘cause blacks and Mexicans can die

I swear we live in John Lennon songs

Matching track suit like dude in Royal Tenenbaums

It's like the In Living Color cast

We'd laughing, trying not to wish death on the upper class

I'd like to run up on the Koch Brothers

And beat 'em with a garden hose made of old rubber

Give 'em rock bottoms and a stone cold stunner

Drop some cold butter on 'em from the skyscraper

Pistol whip 'em with the handle of a lightsaber

Cut 'em with rice paper, chuckle like a wiseacre

Instead think of something sarcastic, black

My man Nocan knows what I'm laughing at

My man Busdriver knows what I'm laughing at

My man Milo knows what I'm laughing at
