People II: The Reckoning

[Verse 1]

Nobody knows everything

We know this to be true

Everything is difficult

Except what's in front of you

But it's complicated even under your nose

Bullshit math equations

And your highs and your lows

[Chorus]

And your manic depression

It comes and it goes

Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts

And you're in fight or flight mode

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

How's the world so small when the world is so large?

And what made the world, could I please speak to who's in charge?

Everything is real, but it's also just as fake

From your daughter's birthday party to your grandmother's wake

[Chorus]

And your bipolar illness, it comes and it goes

Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts

And you're in fight or flight

You're in fight or flight

You're in fight or flight mode

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

I've tried to know which words to sing so many times

And I've tried to know which chords to play

And I've tried to make it rhyme

And I've tried to find the key that all good songs are in

And I've tried to find the notes to make

That great resounding din

[Verse 4]

But there's a bad man in everyone

No matter who we are

There's a rapist and a Nazi living in our tiny hearts

Child pornographers and cannibals and politicians too

There's someone in your head

Waiting to fucking strangle you

[Outro]

So here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

People love you more, oh nevermind

Oh nevermind

In fucking fact, Mrs. Robinson

The world won't care whether you live or die

You live or die

In fucking fact, Mrs. Robinson

They probably hate to see your stupid face

Your stupid face

So here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

You live in an unforgiving place
