[Spoken]
And I'm tellin' you right now, if they don't get it by now, they never fucking will, because
People
Equal
Shit

[Intro]
Ooh
Yeah!
Come on!
Let me see your hands in the fucking air come on!
Here we go again, motherfucker
Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
Come on down and see the idiot right here
Too fucked to beg and not afraid to care
What's the matter with calamity anyway?
Right? Get the fuck outta my face
Understand I can't feel anything
It isn't like I wanna sift through the decay
I feel like a wound like I got a fuckin' gun against my head
You live when I'm dead

One more time, motherfucker!

[Verse 2]
Everybody hates me now, so fuck it
Blood's on my face and my hands, and I
Don't know why. I'm not afraid to cry
But that's none of your business
Whose life is it? Get it? See it? Feel it? Eat it?
Spin it around so I can spit in its face
I wanna leave without a trace
'Cause I don't wanna die in this place
Let me fuckin' hear you!

[Chorus 1]
People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit (Whatcha gonna do?)
People equal shit ('Cause I'm not afraid of you)
People equal shit (I'm everything you'll never be)
People equal shit (yeah!)
This is the part where you make some fuckin' noise friends

[Verse 3]
Come on!
It never stops
You can't be everything to everyone
Contagion, I'm sittin' at the side of Satan
What do you want from me?
They never told me the failure I was meant to be
Overdo it, don't tell me you blew it
Stop your bitchin' and fight your way through it
I'm, not, like, you, I, just, fuck, up

Come on motherfucker, everybody has to die
Come on motherfucker, everybody has to die

New York City!

[Chorus 2]
People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit (Yeah)
People equal shit (Yeah)
People equal shit (Yeah)
People equal shit (Oh)
People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit (Whatcha gonna do?)
People equal shit ('Cause I'm not afraid of you)
People equal shit (I'm everything you'll never be)
People equal shit

[Outro]
Got that, right?

[Spoken]
Thank you so much! My friends, my family. We'll see you soon. Good fuckin' night
