"People = Shit" lyrics

"People = Shit"

Yeah!
(Oh!)
Yeah!
Wargh!
Yeah!
Come on!
Here we go again, motherfucker
Yeah

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 fucking gun against my head
You live when I'm dead

One more time, motherfucker

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

People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit

People equal shit, what you 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!

Yeah!
Come on!

It never stops, you can't be everything to everyone
Contagion, I'm sitting at the side of Satan
What do you want from me?
They never told me the failure I was meant to be, ya
Overdo it, don't tell me you blew it
Stop your bitching 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

Oh
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, what you 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

Got that, right?

"People = Shit" was released on August 28th, 2001 as the second track off Slipknot's second album, "Iowa".
In an interview with Kerrang! magazine, percussionist Shawn Crahan recalled: "Recording Iowa was fucking hell. I wanted to kill myself. There was drugs, bitches, rock 'n' roll, all that shit. People expected so much of us then. 'People = Shit' was our way of saying, 'Fuck off and leave us alone.'"
In an interview with The Guardian, frontman Corey Taylor stated: "What does it say about us as a band? It’s a little different now. For us it was initially a kind of a way of pointing out that we’re all the same, in our Slipknot way. Get over your differences, try to figure it out. Now, it’s more about mortality, and the fact that at the end of the day, we’re all still animals, capable of anything."
