Problem People: Just Shut up Already

Oh my god
Everything you say is stupid
Vacant and unproductive
Vapid
Gridlock lockjaw jawbone bones to pick
Pick and choose and choose your battles
Battling everyone 

Choking on their bitter words
Empathy is so absurd
Round them all up into herds
Round them all up into herds

Explanation is futile
Give an inch and take a mile
They’ll just stay here for a while
They’ll just stay here for a while

Everybody is a killer
Everybody is a filler
Everybody is so useless 
Everybody is Confucius
Everybody is redundant
Everybody is abundant
Everybody likes to lie
Everybody needs to die 

Now nobody is a human
Only breathing and consuming’
Minds unthinking and assumin’
Bigger sticks for bigger boomin’

Spitting out the spoon of spice
Crunching on the crushing ice
Take a break and take your leave
Push and shove and pant and heave

Everybody loves to hate
Your thoughts are rude
Your words they grate
Everybody loves to eat
Everybody loves to cheat

Everybody loves to fight
And no one here
Is ever right
Everybody loves to yell
Everybody loves to tell

Everybody loves to talk
Everything
Is dry as chalk
Nothing matters anymore
Exit now and close the door
Hit your head on the way out
Chip a tooth and break your snout
