No Laughing Matter by The Society Pages Lyrics

Guess we're gonna have to start a brand new charity
For those who make a living drawing cartoons at the dailies
’cause who needs caricatures, when the ringleader's clown enough?
It's no laughing matter for any of us

One of us is gonna have to start some kind of fund
For all the people living off their earnings writing satire
’cause who needs humourists, when the news is joke enough?
It's no laughing matter for any of us

And I guess us singers will probably need some help too
'cause the last thing we'd want to do is cause distractions for any of you

The inland rеvenue will have to considеr tax breaks
For all the comic actors who provide relief from all this hate
'cause who needs sitcoms in this situation?
It's no laughing matter for anyone

I'm heading to the bank so I can start some monthly payments
To help to pay the wages of some of my favourite stand-ups
'cause who needs comedians, when these times make you feel so numb?
It’s no laughing matter for anyone
