What's the Point?

Every morning
I commute to
My kitchen table
Where I sit and write
Hello thank you for your email
Sorry for the slow reply
It's just that I've been busy
Staring into the abyss
Best wishes

Every evening
In sequins
I stand on stage
And try to remain relevant
Despite my age
I tell another joke
Hey that's what we're here for
Have you heard the one about the impending
Nuclear war?

What am I doing with my life?
I lie awake each night in bed
With this thought playing in my head
Until it turns to existential dread
And I'm left thinking

What's the point?
In anything?
What's the point at all?
What's the point?
What's the point?
In anything?
What's the point in anything at all?

I watch the news and get confused
And overwhelmed
So I turn it off and then I feel guilty
That I turned it off

Should I do more for humanity?
Should I stop you on the street for charity?
Could I be the next Mother Theresa?
Or Jesus? Or Bimini?

No! I'm just an insignificant speck
As useless as a Travellers Cheque
I think I better get my shit together

Maybe I should leave the city
Move to somewhere slightly shitty
Be the gentrifier I despise
Or maybe I should get a dog
Or start believing in someone's God
Just to give some purpose to my life
But then I think

What's the point
What's the point in anything?
What's the point in anything at all?
What's the point
What's the point in anything?
What's the point in anything at all?

What
Am I
Doing
With my life?

Do you know what I mean?
Do you know what I mean?
Oh I know you know what I mean

Are we all just cogs
With pointless jobs
In the capitalist machine?

Do you know what I mean?
Do you know what I mean?
Oh I know you know what I mean

Or is at all just fake
Are we living in The Matrix?
Is life but a dream?

What's the point
What's the point in anything?
What's the point in anything at all?
What's the point
What's the point in anything?
What's the point in anything at all?

What's the point in democracy?
What's the point in religion?
What's the point in aristocracy?
What's the point in pigeons?
What's the point in working?
What's the point in not?
What's the point in having a king?
What's the point in wasps?
What's the point in Bourgeois?
What's the point in Maurice?
What's the point in fois gras?
What's the point in geese?
What's the point in doing this show?
I honestly don't know
What's the point in singing this song?
There isn't one

What's the point
What's the point in anything?
What's the point in anything at all?
What's the point
What's the point in anything?
What's the point in anything at all?
