Funny at the Office Lyrics

My first job in New York City

Was at the front desk of a Psychiatric Practice

I answered phones in a windowless room

All for $15 bucks an hour before taxes

I once got yelled at for being too sad on the job

Guess I bummed out the mentally disturbed

They'd say I thought you were a comedian

Why don't we see more of that funny at work?

But I always roll my eyes at the guy

Who's funny at the office

Just trying to hide the fact

That I'm dying inside

I'm sorry but I can't

Be funny at the office

I'm just trying my best to keep

This boiling rage buried deep down inside

Well I got fired from that job

For being a bummer to be around

And also I was objectively bad at my job

That actually makes more sense now that I've said it out loud

My next job was doing customer service

Where my boss was some overpaid exec

When they found out I did stand up

They said you're not as funny as we'd expect

And it's because I roll my eyes at the guy

Who's funny at the office

Just trying to hide the fact

That I'm dying inside

I'm sorry but I can't

Be funny at the office

I'm just trying my best to keep

This boiling rage buried deep down inside

I think my hatred was reasonable

And not at all petty you see

The guy just quotes Judd Apatow movies

He has no artistic integrity

He isn't burdened by the weight

Of trying to make it

He's not living a double life

And people seem to like him

Yeah they think he's really cool

He's not that quiet, creepy, weirdo

Who never looks you in the eye

And his anxiety levels aren't so high

Which makes it easy for him to get outside of his head

Maybe I don't really hate him I just hate myself instead

Wow what a breakthrough…

So that's why I roll my eyes at the guy

Who's funny at the office

Just trying to hide the fact

That I'm dying inside

I'm sorry but I can't

Be funny at the office

I'm just trying my best to keep

This boiling rage buried deep down inside

A volcano of rage erupting deep down inside

A raging fury of rage is raging deep down inside
