    作曲 : Bo Burnham

    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 comp-a-licated
    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 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
    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
    Inside (The Songs)+How the World Works+Bo Burnham+Why do you rich ****ing white people insist on seeing every socio-political conflict through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?
    Inside (The Songs)+How the World Works+Bo Burnham+This isn't about you! So either get with it or get out of the ****ing way!
    Watch your mouth, buddy. Remember who's on whose hand here
    Inside (The Songs)+How the World Works+Bo Burnham+But that's what I've— Have you not been ****ing 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, s-
    Look at me
    Yes, sir
    That's better
    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

    No! No!
