How the World Works (Explicit)

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
Bo Burnham/Socko：
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
All right
Socko：
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
Socko Bo Burnham/Both：
That is how the world works
Really
That is how the world works
Genocide the Natives say you got to it first
That's how it works
Bo Burnham/Socko：
That's pretty intense
No s**t
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 f**king white people insist on
Seeing every socio-political conflict
Through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization
This isn't about you
So either get with it or get out of the f**king way
Watch your mouth buddy
Remember who's on whose hand here
But that's what I've
Have you not been f**king listening
We are entrenched in
Alright Alright I
Wait wait wait
No please I don't wanna go back please
I can't go I can't go back Please Please I'm sorry
Are you gonna behave yourself
Yes
"Yes" what
Yes sir
Look at me
Yes sir
That's better
Bo Burnham Socko/Both：
That is how the world works
That is how the world works
I hope you learned your lesson
I did and it hurt
That's how it works
Socko：
No
