Most People Are Dead

You think you're better than everyone

Better than most

Well, most people enjoy this stuff!

See, that's the problem

I'm not doing this for "most people"

"Most people" have fucked me over since the start

You have no idea what's going on in the world or how it works

You're deceiving yourself

And I really don't think that's gonna change

You step outside, hear the front door slap

Welcome to Day 89 of "who gives a crap?"

I could stare around the world and not a face would stare back

Well, if chivalry is dead, at least my outfit is black

Every person passing by has got their head in their ass

Accepting their conformity and bowing en masse

"Most people are like this" you justify to yourself

As the thought comes flying at you off the back of the shelf

Most people are dead

And they've been for a long, long, long, long time

Quit while you're ahead

Might be dumb, but stupid ain't a crime

Yeah, what the numbers say are probably true

But now?

Most people are dead

And it's fine

At least most people aren't

You

So what's it like living day by day

Swimming through the field of optimist blasé?

Has the palace dethroned you?

Do you still feel so sure

That the life that you've been leading ain't in need of a cure?

But now you're hit from the sidelines by a moment of pause

'Cuz all your fantasies are fleeting and you don't know the cause

Most people are dead

And that just makes us one out of fifteen

Might as well stay in bed

Since our expectations are "obscene"

Maybe don't expect a huge breakthrough

Because

Most people are dead

And yeah, that sucks

But we ain't talkin' 'bout you

How do you live like that?

That sounds miserable

The truth is miserable, Vera

But I don't think it is true

Everyone is important
