Bourgeois & Maurice and Ensemble - Thank God

We know the world feels scary right now
Are we all gonna be wiped out?
Is there no hope left?

So much shit that needs to be sorted
So much stuff being ignored it’s hard
To have any hope left

But there are some people trying to make
The world a better place
To make the future better for us all

They’re out there putting their necks on the line
Without a care for themselves
So maybe it’s time we
Thanked those people

Thank God for us for being selfless artists
Thank God for us for being bold and brave
It’s not easy to stand here and sing the truth
While wearing sequins and getting paid

The pen is mightier than the sword
And our pen is particularly broad and long
It’s very impressive
So we’re fighting crime by writing rhymes
And righting wrongs by singing songs
The revolution will be
Passive aggressive

Thank God for us for being selfless artists
Thank God for us for standing on this stage
We’ve really struggled to get a mortgage
On our unpredictable artist's wage

We’re breaking taboos
While getting three star reviews
And posting online interviews
About our process

We’re doing it for you
We’re solving every major issue
With our brilliant minds
Our brilliant talented minds

Thank God for us for being so subversive
Thank God our work has such extraordinary worth
Art is a burden that we will shoulder
For the sake of all life on earth

We are only human. We can only do so much. Humanity is broad and complex, not everyone thinks the same way or believes the same things, but everyone can agree that tonight we have presented a deeply profound work of art that will fundamentally alter the course of human history. Not everyone can do that - you don’t have the talent - but there are small things you can do, like retweet us or follow us on Instagram. These things matter! Together we will change the world. Stay humble! Live! Laugh! Love! Be grateful for the small things like...

Thank God for electric lighting
Thank God for makeup
Thank God for amplified sound
Thank God for seats

Seats?

Yeah, I just think they’re quite useful.

Yeah.

Thank God for the bar staff
And our musicians
But mostly thank God for...us
Bourgeois & Maurice!
