[Intro] (Upbeat power chords on ukulele, driving 808s, stuttering vocal sample: ha ha… ha ha… cosmic joke…) (Ad-lib: yeah, don't take it so serious) [Verse 1] I woke up this morning and I tripped on my own shoe Spilled the coffee on my shirt, then I laughed until I turned blue The universe was watching, and it whispered in my ear "You take yourself so seriously, but I put you here to cheer" So I put on mismatched socks and I danced into the street Waved at all the strangers like they're family I should meet They probably think I'm crazy, but I'm saner than I've been 'Cause the joke was never on me—it was always from within [Pre-Chorus] I used to flex so hard, I almost broke my own spine Now I'm laughing at the irony of thinking I was divine Why am I so light now? Why do I feel free? Because I finally learned to laugh at me [Chorus] I'm a cosmic joke, and I'm the punchline too God's up there giggling at the silly things I do Don't take it too serious, we're just spinning on a ball The most comical man is the one who thinks he's standing tall So I laugh at my failures, I laugh at my pride I laugh at the voices that keep telling me to hide Ha ha, ha ha, it's all a cosmic joke And I'm the lucky fool who finally gets the smoke [Verse 2] I used to practice every mirror pose like I was king of all Now I make the silly faces that would make a baby crawl I sang a song in public and I missed the highest note The crowd just started laughing, so I laughed and cleared my throat Turns out imperfection is the sweetest kind of grace And the people love you more when you fall flat on your face So here's a toast to all the times I thought I had to be the best I'm much more fun to watch when I'm a beautiful hot mess [Pre-Chorus] I used to flex so hard, I almost broke my own spine Now I'm laughing at the irony of thinking I was divine Why am I so light now? Why do I feel free? Because I finally learned to laugh at me [Chorus] I'm a cosmic joke, and I'm the punchline too God's up there giggling at the silly things I do Don't take it too serious, we're just spinning on a ball The most comical man is the one who thinks he's standing tall So I laugh at my failures, I laugh at my pride I laugh at the voices that keep telling me to hide Ha ha, ha ha, it's all a cosmic joke And I'm the lucky fool who finally gets the smoke [Bridge] (Punk rock energy, driving guitars, drums kick harder) If you catch me looking heavy like the world is on my chest Remind me that I'm made of dust and laughter is the best I'd rather be the fool who smiles than the king who lost his grin The cosmic joke is this: the only win is letting go of win So point and laugh, I'll take a bow, I'll join you on the floor The man who takes himself too seriously is always wanting more But I've got enough, I've got today, I've got this silly beat And honestly, the punchline is I'm finally complete [Final Chorus] (Full energy, punk-inflected, gang vocals on "ha ha") I'm a cosmic joke, and I'm the punchline too God's up there giggling at the silly things I do Don't take it too serious, we're just spinning on a ball The most comical man is the one who thinks he's standing tall So I laugh at my failures, I laugh at my pride I laugh at the voices that keep telling me to hide Ha ha, ha ha, it's all a cosmic joke And I'm the lucky fool who finally gets the smoke [Outro] (Ukulele and power chords fade, stuttering vocal sample: ha ha… ha ha…) (One final 808 hit, then silence)
