C C
Your songwriting is inventive.
F F
It's witty, and it's smart.
G G
I always loved your shows,
F G
You really set yourself apart.
C C
Now I see, behind the scenes,
F F
all of the damage that you've done.
G G
You thought your talent could excuse it,
G C
but now at last you're on the run.
Chorus:
F F F C
And you say you're sorry, you only meant to bring us joy,
D G
You didn't know what you were doing, you poor, innocent boy.
F G C Am [hang a beat]
You've been going to a therapist, and she's really helped a lot.
F C
Well, that might be true, but go get screwed.
G C
You can go to hell and rot.
You're a true comedy legend,
on TV and the big screen.
While behind the scenes, the things you did
Made others quit the scene.
If anybody intervened, well,
Their careers you'd destroy.
Now you claim to be contrite.
It seems like just another ploy.
Chorus:
And you say you're sorry, you only meant to bring us joy,
You didn't know what you were doing, you poor, innocent boy.
You've been going to a therapist, and she's really helped a lot.
Well, that might be true, but go get screwed.
You can go to hell and rot.
Well, that might be true, but go get screwed.
You can go to hell and rot.
