Em AHey, kids
D D B/EbToday, we're gonna learn about the world
[Verse 1: Bo Burnham]
Em AThe world that's around us
DIs pretty amazing
DBut how does it work?
B/EbIt must be complicated
Em A DThe secret is the world can only work
D B/EbWhen everything works together
[Verse 2: Bo Burnham]
Em AA bee drinks from a flower
DAnd leaves with its pollen
DA squirrel in a tree
B/Eb EmSpreads the seeds that have fallen
AEverything works together
D B/Eb Em AThe biggest elephant, the littlest fly
D B/Eb Em AThe gophers underground, the birds in the sky
Gb/Bb Bm Daug/Bb D/A D(b5)/AbAnd every single cricket, every fish in the sea
G E AGives what they can and gets what they need
[Chorus: Bo Burnham]
D Bm/AbThat is how the world works
G E/Ab AThat is how the world works
D
From A to Zebra
Gb7 BmTo the worms in the dirt
G D/AThat's how it works
[Interlude 1: Bo Burnham & Socko]
D Gbm/DbHey everyone
Bm7Look who stopped by to say hello
Gbm/DbIt's Socko
DHey!
Gbm/DbWhere you been, Socko?
Bm7 Gbm/Db
I've been where I always Am when you're not wearing me on your hand
D Gbm/Db Bm7In a frightening, liminal space between states of being
Gbm/DbNot quite dead, not quite alive
D Gbm/DbIt's similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis
Bm7 Gbm/DbSocko, we were just talking about the world and how it works
D Gbm/DbBoy, that sounds complicated!
Bm7Do you have anything you'd want to teach us about the world?
Gbm/Db DI wouldn't say anything that you probably haven't already said yourself
Gbm/DbI don't know about that, Socko
E AHow about you give it a try?
Alright!
[Verse 3: Socko]
Em A DThe simple narrative taught in every history class
D B/Eb EmIs demonstrably false and pedagogically classist
A DDon't you know the world is built with blood?
D B/EbAnd genocide and exploitation
Em A DThe global network of capital essentially functions
D B/Eb EmTo separate the worker from the means of production
A DAnd the FBI killed Martin Luther King
D B/Eb Em APrivate property's inherently theft
D B/Eb Em AAnd neoliberal fascists are destroying the left
Gb/Bb Bm Daug/Bb D/A D(b5)/AbAnd every politician, every cop on the street
G E AProtects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
[Chorus: Socko & Bo Burnham]
D Bm/AbThat is how the world works
Really?
G E/Ab AThat is how the world works
D Gb7 BmGenocide, the Natives say you got to it first
G D/AThat's how it works
[Interlude 2: Bo Burnham & Socko]
D Gbm/DbThat's pretty intense
BmNo shit
Gbm/DbWhat can I Do to help?
DRead a book or something, I don't know
Gbm/Db Bm7Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you
Gbm/DbIt's incredibly exhausting
DI'm sorry, Socko
Gbm/Db Bm7I was just trying to become a better person
Gbm/Db DWhy Do you rich fucking white people insist on seeing every
Gbm/Db Bm7 Gbm/Dbsocio-political conflict through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?
DThis isn't about you
Gbm/Db Bm7So either get with it, or get out of the fucking way
Watch your mouth, buddy
Gbm/Db DRemember who's on whose hand here
But that's what I--
Gbm/DbHave you not been fucking listening?
BmWe are entrenched in--
Alright, alright
Gbm/DbWait, no please!
I don't wanna Go back, please
DI can't go, I can't Go back
N.C.
Please, please, I'm sorry
Are you gonna behave yourself?
Yes
Yes, what?
Yes, sir
Look at me
Yes, sir
That's better
[Chorus: Bo Burnham, Socko & Both]
D Bm/AbThat is how the world works
G E/Ab AThat is how the world works
DI hope you learned your lesson
Gb7 BmI did and it hurt
G D/AThat's how it works
