Lyrics

The Lessons: The Exploding People

Building up a belly full of bumble bees

Pushing down the pain like it's a quarantine

Baby, sing in choir 'til your tongue falls out

Cuz if you hold it all in it'll all fall out

And one by one, the people, they explode

The past ain't ever gonna re-come

So do what you do, cuz what's done is done

Beat out the pain with a kick drum

Can't escape from yourself unless you don't run

And one by one, the people, they explode

You are your own poison

You are your own doctor

You are your own saviour

You are your own cure

One by one the people they explode

You never see the present, cuz you're always looking back

Or counting down the seconds to your heart attack

Bottle it up, and the bottle goes crack

Do what you do, cuz you can't come back

And one by one, the people, they explode
