People
Rice Boyd Lyrics

Do you ever think about
Have you ever pondered the idea of

What a lovely place the world would be
The world would be very pleasant if

Without all the people
Excluding those individuals who

That make life so unpleasant?
Contribute to making life less enjoyable?

All the small, petty people
Individuals who are insignificant and lack importance in society

All the ugly, annoying people
People who are unattractive and irritate others

It's hard not to think about it
It's challenging to avoid contemplating their existence

I like to think about
I usually consider

What could be
What could possibly happen

Done to these people
Executed to these specific individuals

Something cruel
A barbaric response

Something mean
A harmful punishment

Something just
An equitable retribution

But the meaner the better
The more malicious, the more justified

Goodness knows they deserve it
It is manifestly evident that they are deserving of punishment

Have you ever dreamed of
Have you ever imagined

Killing all the stupid people?
Eliminating all the unintelligent individuals

Not just the unintelligent people
Not only the ignorant

But the sort that don't know anything about anything
But specifically those who are unacquainted with everything

But seem to have opinions about everything
But have a perspective on every topic despite their lack of knowledge

They're only too ready to offer their advice about
Keen to provide guidance regarding

How to run your life
How one should manage their existence

And yet look at how they run their own lives
Despite their advice, look at how their own lives are mismanaged

For the most part they've accomplished nothing
They haven't accomplished much in their lives

They've contributed nothing
They haven't made any significant contribution to society

Their lives are miserable
They lead wretched and unhappy lives

But they talk, talk, talk
However, they talk excessively

At the very least their tongues should be cut out
Their most severe punishment should be the removal of their tongue

At the very least
It is the most elementary penalty

Do you ever wanna
Do you feel like

Kill all people who tell lies?
Eradicate all dishonest individuals

Some certainly deserve it
Definitely some merit this penalty

Not necessarily the big liars
Not specifically the massive deceivers

Or even those who teach lies as truth
Or the ones who misrepresent facts as the truth

I'm talking about people
I'm referring to the individuals

Who say one thing and do another
Who verbalize one thing but act in contradiction

Or who tell you they sent something express mail
Or those people who notify you of sending a package through express mail

When you know they haven't
When actuality, they did not dispatch anything

Did you ever want to
Have you ever considered

Kill all the slow people in the world?
Eradicate everyone who is slow and obstructing progress

The people who are in front of you
The individuals who are acting as a roadblock

When they should be behind you
When they should be taking a backseat and following themself

A crime that the swift should be held back by the slow
An offense that the fast performers' efficiency is hindered by the slower ones

And it's criminal that nothing is going to rectify it
It's intolerable and unfortunate that no solution is available to fix the situation

And what about all the really ugly people?
Furthermore, what about individuals who are not visually pleasing?

Add them to the list as well
Include them in the aforementioned group too

Some people try not to think about life's ugliness
Some individuals intentionally avoid contemplating the repulsiveness of existence

I've thought about it
I have given it some thought

I've thought about it quite a lot
In fact, I have considered it more than a few times

Something should be done to these people
An appropriate action should be executed against these individuals

Something to make them suffer
Punishment that causes them to experience agony is required

The way they've made us suffer
In a similar way that they have made us undergo pain and anguish

I say, bring back the circus maximus
My notion is to reestablish the circus maximus

For starters
To begin with

Unless these weeds are dealt with
Unless those undesirable people are handled.

They'll poison everything
These individuals will corrupt every aspect of life

They are poisoning everything
Currently, it is these people who are corrupting every element of life

We need a gardener
A caretaker is required

A brutal gardener
An unyielding and violent caretaker

A thorough, thoughtful gardener
A meticulous and insightful caretaker

An iron gardener
A resolute and enduring caretaker

Whatever happened to Vlad the Impaler?
What became of Vlad the Impaler's legacy?

Where's Genghis Kahn when you need him?
Where is Genghis Kahn to whom we can turn to in this instance?

Or Roi d'Ys?
Or Roi d'Ys, for that matter?

Ayatollah Khomeini
