About Funny Papers
On “Funny Papers”, Mac takes the negative and positive of what one might read in a newspaper, while reflecting similarly on his own emotions. The term “funny papers” gives a sense of simplicity that is reciprocated in the song; this sentiment comes full circle as Mac asks, “Why does it matter at all?” towards the end. Mac nods to the intrinsic truth that everything we deal with in life is temporary, while not everything will be simple. .
Funny Papers Lyrics
[00:00.00]
[00:03.94] Did no one ever teach you how to dance?
[00:08.76] Nobody ever taught you how to dance?
[00:13.30] Well-, well, everyone knows how to dance
[00:18.01] There's only so much time
[00:21.42] Yeah, somebody died today, I
[00:23.16] I saw his picture in the funny papers
[00:25.33] Didn't think anybody died on a Friday
[00:27.84] Some angry banker, some kind of money trader
[00:30.80] Recently divorced, was drunk drivin' down the highway
[00:33.68] And drove off the bridge to his wedding song
[00:35.91] Blew out the bass in his speakers, you can still hear the treble goin' (treble goin')
[00:40.49] The hospital was useless, and everything was quiet but the music
[00:44.03] Recently, I only meet peace when in deep sleep
[00:46.84] Been the same dream, world safe, smile on her face
[00:49.94] Waitin' on the other side (the other side)
[00:52.20] I wonder if He'll take me to the other side (the other side), yeah
[00:56.15] What your eyes see, too naive for war, and that'll screw ya
[00:59.18] Still bet it all on the glory, hallelujah
[01:02.45] I heard the answer in the gibberish of an old drunk
[01:05.47] All he said was he's in no rush
[01:07.15] If I could just pay my rent by Tuesday
[01:10.04] I bet I'd be rich by April Fools' Day
[01:13.54] The moon's wide awake, with a smile on his face
[01:16.33] As he smuggle constellations in his suitcase
[01:18.69] Don't you love silence? (Silence)
[01:22.22] Everything quiet but the music (music)
[01:27.97] Everything quiet but the music
[01:30.28] Do you love silence? (Ooh)
[01:33.60] Everything quiet but the music
[01:35.65] (Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo)
[01:40.59] Somebody gave birth to a baby boy
[01:43.22] I saw his picture in the funny papers
[01:45.37] 11 pounds, named after his uncle Gabriel
[01:48.01] His mother cried with her lips against his soft face (soft face)
[01:51.12] Why'd she bring these bright eyes into this dark place?
[01:54.17] Oh, sweet, sweet oblivion
[01:56.89] Way before the information gets settled in
[01:59.65] I swear to God, I never wanna sin again
[02:02.60] But I fear that trouble's on its way (yeah)
[02:05.65] The mind go with age, don't surrender
[02:07.95] My mistake, I misplaced all of my remembers
[02:11.05] Baby, there's a little vacation in the dresser
[02:13.48] Take one for depression, and two for your temper
[02:15.78] If I could just pay my rent by Tuesday
[02:18.60] I bet I'd be rich by April Fools' Day
[02:22.07] The moon's wide awake, with a smile on his face
[02:24.80] As he smuggle constellations in his suitcase
[02:27.28] Don't you love silence?
[02:29.07] Oh shit, here come the icebreaker
[02:31.17] It's danger when he's bringin' out the lightsaber
[02:34.01] The words awesome but he's talkin' outta turn often
[02:36.97] I blew the fuck up, then became the world's problem
[02:39.84] Bad hygiene, all about that gross life
[02:42.52] Hate to see somebody fuckin' up their own life (their own life)
[02:45.16] Just roll the dice, and put 20 on midnight
[02:47.93] Have a feelin' we gon' win tonight (win tonight)
[02:50.18] 'Cause when the snakes start slitherin', you spot the chameleons
[02:53.65] You realize you surrounded by reptilians ('tilians)
[02:57.68] Shit, I ain't an innovator, just a motherfuckin' illustrator (illustrator)
[03:01.60]
[03:15.40] Why does it matter
[03:18.97] At all? Oh, whoa, whoa
[03:24.49]
[00:03.94] Did no one ever teach you how to dance?
[00:08.76] Nobody ever taught you how to dance?
