Abstract: a triumphant attempt to bargain with misanthropy
lyrics
People, they often have too much to drink,
They feel the need to stand up and fight you.
They get in your face and they ruin your day
and everything's shit, so shit.
People, they sometimes own SUV's,
Feeling the need to drive like an arsehole,
Filling parking space, with their German case
of seven spoiled kids, spoiled kids.
But people are alright.
Not all of them are crude and mindless,
Some are sweet and polite,
Yeah people are alright.
People, they will vote for autocrats,
All of them claiming that they're the unlucky ones
With their flavoured vapes and their racial hate,
Looking so cut, so cut.
But people are alright.
Not everyone's a bloody tyrant,
Some are actually quite nice,
Yeah people are alright.
