lyrics

People are life, are your wife
People are grunts, back to front
people are dreams, or so it seems
And I can't take them right now

Can't get out of my bed
There's a thought crime running through my head
Can't take these rules and people are fools
Who believe what they read and believe what they see
Believe what they see on the tv

Opinions are like IPhones, everybody's got one
And narcissists are like broken hearts, everybody knows one
Wipe them out, wipe them out of my mind
'Cause I can't take them right now

Believe what you read and believe what you see
Believe what you see on the tv
Don't believe them and don't believe me, I'm a tool

Line them up and school them, give them the tools and they'll use them
Line them up and school them, or give me a gun and i'll shoot them

Most people are nice, fundamentally nice
Believe in left and right, believe it's wrong to fight
But they're still tools
Rubber-stamped fake news
A stain on your shoes
And I can't take them right now

Line them up and school them, give them the tools and they'll use them
Line them up and school them, or give me a gun and i'll shoot them
Are the schools shitting out fools
who believe what they read and believe what they see
Don't believe them and don't believe me, I'm a tool
i'm your changes of mood, i'm a drug in your food

Can't get out of my head
There's a thought crime running through my head
Can't take these rules and people are fools
but I need them
I desperately need them
