lyrics

Timmy was the darling of the comedy scene
He played all over the city in 2013
But it wasn’t enough, he wanted to go far
He would pay any price to become a star

Now he’s getting mean
And he’s getting loud
Started pandering to a more right wing crowd

He sold his soul just to get more clicks
Podcast downloads, and youtube hits
Free speech is what it’s all about
Wish he’d use that freedom to shut his mouth
Oh, Timmy

Tyler was the most unique performer in town
A true creative genius with talent abound
But when he didn’t make it big he got bitter as hell
And switched to a product that's easier to sell

Now he’s anti-woke
Just wants to own the libs
A little baby screaming in his crib

He shook the devil’s hand right then
For the fame he felt was owed to him
Yells about free speech at every club
Wish he’d use that freedom to shut up
Oh, Tyler

Now every comic gets stuck in a rut
And many flirt with the thought of the same short cut
But it ain’t worth the price, no the cost is too high
Can’t put the genie back once you let him outside

Sure the money rolls in
But the next thing you know
You’ve got an alt-right militia at every show

Cause when everything is said and done
The laughs are for the wrong reason
You think you’re up there spitting truths
Well Carlin’s rolling in his tomb
You think you are the next Bill Hicks
You missed his point you stupid dick
If you think you’re the next Richard Pryor
Go ahead and light yourself on fire
Go ahead, light yourself on fire
Go ahead, light yourself on fire
Go ahead, light yourself on fire
Go ahead, light yourself on fire
