Hey, kids
Today, we're gonna learn

about the world
Verse 1
Em
A
The world that's around us
But how does it work?
B
Em
It must be complicated
A
D
The secret is the world can only work
B
When everything works together
Em
A
A bee drinks from a flower
D
And leaves with its pollen
A squirrel in a tree
B
Em
Spreads the seeds that have fallen
A
Everything works together
D
B
Em
A
The biggest elephant, the littlest fly
D
B
The gophers underground,
Em
A
the birds in the sky

And every single cricket,
every fish in the sea
G
E
A
Gives what they can and gets what they need

Bridge 1
Look who stopped by to say hello
Where you been, Socko?
(I've been where I always am
when you're not wearing me on your hand)
D
(In a frightening, liminal space
between states of being)
(Not quite dead, not quite alive)
to a constant state of sleep paralysis)
Socko, we were just talking about the world
and how it works
D
(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
D
haven't already said yourself)
I don't know about that, Socko
E
How about you give it a try?
Verse 2
Em
A
The simple narrative taught
Is demonstrably false
B
Em
and pedagogically classist
A
Don't you know the world
B
And genocide and exploitation
Em
A
The global network of capital
To separate the worker
B
Em
from the means of production
A
D
And the FBI killed Martin Luther King
B
Em
A
Private property's inherently theft
D
B
And neoliberal fascists
Em
A
are destroying the left
F#
Bm
And every politician,
every cop on the street
E
A
of the pedophilic corporate elite
Chorus 2
D
C#
That is how the world works (really?)
G
E
A
That is how the world works
D
F#
Bm
Genocide, the Natives say you got to it first
G
A
That's how it
Bridge 2
D
(works) That's pretty intense
(No shit)
What can I do to help?
D
(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 was just trying to become a better person
(Why do you rich fucking white people
D
insist on seeing every socio-political conflict)
(Through the myopic lens
of your own self_actualization?)
(So either get with it,
or get out of the fucking way)
Watch your mouth, buddy,
D
remember who's on whose hand here
(But that's what I-
have you not been fucking listening?)
(We are entrenched in)
(Wait, wait, wait, no please!)
(I don't wanna go back, please)
D
(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)
