คอร์ด เนื้อเพลง How The World Works Bo Burnham Chordza
Hey, kids Today, we're gonna learn about the world
The world that's around us Is pretty amazing
But how does it work? It must be complicated
The secret is the world can only work When everything works together
A bee drinks from a flower And leaves with its pollen
A squirrel in a tree Spreads the seeds that have fallen Everything works together
The biggest elephant, the littlest fly The gophers underground, the birds in the sky
And every single cricket, every fish in the sea Gives what they can and gets what they need
* That is how the world works That is how the world works
From A to Zebra To the worms in the dirt That's how it works
Hey everyone Look who stopped by to say hello It's Socko Hey!
Where you been, Socko?
I've been where I always am when you're not wearing me on your hand
In a frightening, liminal space between states of being Not quite dead, not quite alive
It's similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis
Socko, we were just talking about the world and how it works
Boy, that sounds complicated! Do you have anything you'd want to teach us about the world?
I wouldn't say anything that you probably haven't already said yourself
I don't know about that, Socko How about you give it a try? Alright!
The simple narrative taught in every history class
Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist
Don't you know the world is built with blood? And genocide and exploitation
The global network of capital essentially functions
To separate the worker from the means of production And the FBI killed Martin Luther King
Private property's inherently theft
And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left
And every politician, every cop on the street
Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
That's pretty intense No shit What can I do to help?
Read a book or something, I don't know
Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you
It's incredibly exhausting I'm sorry, Socko
I was just trying to become a better person
Why do you rich fucking white people insist on seeing every
socio-political conflict through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?
This isn't about you
The world that's around us Is pretty amazing
But how does it work? It must be complicated
The secret is the world can only work When everything works together
A bee drinks from a flower And leaves with its pollen
A squirrel in a tree Spreads the seeds that have fallen Everything works together
