Lyrics

I Don’t Like People (& They Don’t Like Me)

[Verse 1]

I haven't left my bedroom

For sixteen days

And I don't see why I would do

When everything's so grey

[Pre-Chorus]

And you can say whatever you like

There's no way that I'm going outside

'Cos I don't like people

And they don't like me, no they don't like me

[Chorus]

I'm a surface-level freak

No one's listening to me

And I think I'm alone

And the walls are closing in

Can't remember where I've been

Man I think I'm alone

[Verse 2]

I'm a cynical criminal

Drifting through the liminal

In a black beanie

Wish you could follow me, honestly

This week I got a lot of sleep

But I'm still dreaming now, now

[Chorus]

I'm a surface-level freak

No one's listening to me

And I think I'm alone

And the walls are closing in

Can't remember where I've been

Man I think I'm alone

I'm a surface-level freak

No one's listening to me

And I think I'm alone

And the walls are closing in

Can't remember where I've been

Man I think I'm alone

[Pre-Chorus]

And you can say whatever you like

There's no way that I'm going outside

'Cos I don't like people

And they don't like me, they don't like me

[Chorus]

I'm a surface-level freak

No one's listening to me

And I think I'm alone

And the walls are closing in

Can't remember where I've been

Man I think I'm alone

I'm a surface-level freak

No one's listening to me

And I think I'm alone
