I'm Not Laughing Anymore

[00:00.24] Okay, so, stop me if you've heard this
[00:03.49] So, this guy walks into a bar
[00:06.52] And like, this is just a regular divey bar, nothing special
[00:11.04] And they see their therapist
[00:12.98] And the therapist is like four drinks in, drunk as fuck
[00:16.85] And the guy just got through some heavy shit, you know how it is, so
[00:20.73] He goes to the bar and starts chatting up this therapist
[00:25.83] And this is what he says
[00:27.48] "I think I need some sleep, ooh baby
[00:34.65] I keep begging for something, but it don't come cheap
[00:40.65] I think I need release, ooh baby
[00:47.77] I just pick up the pieces 'til it feels like peace"
[00:55.02] Cause I'm hoping (hoping), praying (praying)
[00:58.81] That if I'm gonna stay (if I'm gonna stay)
[01:01.71] It'll be better, better than before
[01:08.34] But I'm worn out (worn out), broken (broken)
[01:11.86] Man, I feel like a joke (feel like a joke)
[01:14.72] But I'm not laughing, laughing anymore"
[01:20.83] Oh-oh-oh
[01:22.73] So the therapist is kinda pissed off at this point
[01:24.81] Like she-, like this was her day off
[01:26.97] She's tryna drink to forget some serious shit that she's going through
[01:30.42] So, she chugs the rest of her drink and I mean chugs it
[01:33.33] Slams the glass on the table
[01:34.93] Tips what she thought was a five, turns out it was a 20
[01:37.88] She doesn't discover this until the next morning
[01:40.45] That's not important
[01:42.29] Either way, she says this to the man
[01:46.24] "The fuck I'm supposed to do?
[01:50.99] Ooh baby
[01:53.67] I know troubles are plenty 'cause I got mine too
[01:59.58] So if you're feeling drab, ooh baby
[02:06.48] Then check with your insurance if they'll pay my tab"
[02:13.81] You've been hopeless (hopeless) lately (lately)
[02:17.63] And if you're gonna stay (if you're gonna stay)
[02:20.47] It'd be better (better), better to ignore
[02:27.06] 'Cause I'm worn out (worn out), broken (broken)
[02:30.86] And I feel like a joke (and I feel like a joke)
[02:33.71] But I'm not laughing, laughing anymore (woo)
[02:41.54] So, the man inconsolably weeping
[02:45.42] Feeling there really is nowhere else to turn
[02:48.37] Gets in his car, drives wherever his maniac little heart desires
[02:52.01] And ends up at a bridge, overlooking the freeway
[02:56.65] The cops that are called on him coerce him to climb off the railing
[03:01.08] He's sent to the mental hospital
[03:02.63] And is told that he'll stay there involuntarily
[03:05.09] For a minimum of two weeks
[03:08.25] The next morning, the therapist wakes up with a splitting headache
[03:11.76] And no recollection of the night before
[03:14.31] She waits in her office for him to stop by
[03:16.48] But he doesn't for reasons unbeknownst to her
[03:20.47] He's charged fifty dollars for being a no-show
[03:22.59]
