[00:00.00] [Intro: Bo Burnham]
[00:01.14]Hey, kids
[00:02.52]Today, we're gonna learn about the world
[00:06.21][Verse 1: Bo Burnham]
[00:08.07]The world that's around us is pretty amazing
[00:11.73]But how does it work? It must be comp-l-icated
[00:15.51]The secret is: The world can only work
[00:18.96]When everything works together
[00:22.41]A bee drinks from a flower and leaves with its pollen
[00:26.55]A squirrel in a tree spreads the seeds that have fallen
[00:30.42]Everything works together
[00:32.88][Pre-Chorus: Bo Burnham]
[00:33.48]The biggest elephant, the littlest fly
[00:37.11]The gophers underground, the birds in the sky
[00:40.20]And every single cricket, every fish in the sea
[00:44.22]Gives what they can and gets what they need
[00:47.94][Chorus: Bo Burnham]
[00:48.51]That is how the world works
[00:52.50]That is how the world works
[00:55.56]From "A" to "zebra" to the worms in the dirt
[00:58.98]That's how it works
[01:03.30][ Interlude 1: Bo Burnham & Socko]
[01:04.20]Hey, everyone, look who stopped by to say hello! It's Socko!
[01:09.78]Hey!
[01:11.52]Where you been, Socko?
[01:12.90]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
[01:28.38]Socko, we were just talking about the world and how it works
[01:31.95]Boy, that sounds complicated!
[01:34.59]Do you have anything you'd want to teach us about the world?
[01:37.32]I wouldn't say anything that you probably haven't already said yourself
[01:41.13]I don't know about that, Socko. How about you give it a try?
[01:45.75]All right!
[01:46.86][Verse 2: Socko]
[01:47.25]The simple narrative taught in every history class
[01:51.12]Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist
[01:55.29]Don't you know? The world is built with blood!
[01:58.86]And genocide! And exploitation!
[02:02.04]The global network of capital essentially functions
[02:06.27]To separate the worker from the means of production
[02:09.72]And the FBI killed Martin Luther King
[02:13.41][Pre-Chorus: Socko]
[02:14.16]Private property's inherently theft
[02:16.47]And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left
[02:19.92]And every politician, every cop on the street
[02:23.34]Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
[02:26.94][Chorus: Socko, Bo Burnham & Both]
[02:27.63]That is how the world works (Really?)
[02:32.16]That is how the world works
[02:35.04]Genocide the Natives, say you got to it first
[02:38.64]That's how it works
[02:42.66][Interlude 2: Bo Burnham & Socko]
[02:43.29]That's pretty intense
[02:44.97]No shit!
[02:46.53]What can I do to help?
[02:49.02]Read a book or something, I don't know. Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you. It's incredibly exhausting!
[02:57.21]I'm sorry, Socko. I was just trying to become a better person
[03:01.20]Why do you rich ****ing 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 ****ing way!
[03:15.96]Watch your mouth, buddy. Remember who's on whose hand here
[03:19.98]But that's what I've— Have you not been ****ing listening? We are entrenched in—
[03:23.58]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
[03:34.65]Are you gonna behave yourself?
[03:37.20]Yes
[03:38.01]" Yes," what?
[03:43.38]Yes, sir
[03:44.49]Look at me
[03:47.55]Yes, sir
[03:50.46]That's better
[03:51.87][Chorus: Bo Burnham, Socko & Both]
[03:52.53]That is how the world works
[03:57.12]That is how the world works
[03:59.82]I hope you learned your lesson! (I did, and it hurt!)
[04:03.54]That's how it works
[04:09.39][Outro: Socko]
[04:13.20]No!
