Really, why?

In no way did those lyrics
a) speak to me
b) make me want to laugh

They mostly just seemed like overly expletive-filled crap.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here.
Wanderer posted that everyone was lacking humour in response to me posting Poor Poor Pitiful Me. My comment above was explaining my posting of that phrase i.e. Poor Poor Pitiful Me is another Warren Zevon song which amongst other things, details a bloke deciding to end it all by laying on a rail track only to find that it's no longer in use. It's done in a sardonic manner with bleak humour. If you remember the film The Full Monty, it's not unlike the scene where one character contemplates suicide but comes out with lines like "I'd throw myself in the river but I'm afraid of water" and so being too inept to end it all he has little choice but to laugh at himself and move on.

Actually I looked that one up.
I don't know a lot of Zevon, so I didn't immediately recognize it. Gotta say, though, it's pretty funny.
