lyrics

Do you remember the Irony Revolution
When we hilariously overthrew capitalism
with our sarcastic cynicism and caustic wit
The snark and the sneer at the heart of it
Armed with barbed bon mots

How d'you wash away disdain
From this carpet, from your brain
Again and again and again and again
Years and years and jeers and boos
Wipe the shit from your clown shoes

Spraying acid from a plastic flower
Joking about truth to power
We've moved past apathy and nihilism
Now we're into laughtivism
ooooo

There's a satire and parody schism
At the heart of laughtivism
That's me in Chortle
The comedy portal
Losing laughtivism

Any psychopath
Can laugh laugh laugh
From Bathgate to Bath
Laugh laugh laugh
When topical gags
Become ropy and naff
And pastiche is past it
Losing panache

I was out on the razz
And I lost my pizzazz
That's enough rhyming
Your comedy timing
is late
My coping mechanism
Laughtivism
