about this song
On “Funny Papers”, Mac takes the negative and positive of what one might read in a newspaper, while reflecting similarly on his own emotions. The term “funny papers” gives a sense of simplicity that is reciprocated in the song; this sentiment comes full circle as Mac asks, “Why does it matter at all?” towards the end. Mac nods to the intrinsic truth that everything we deal with in life is temporary, while not everything will be simple.
