Richard Cheese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on
Yeah
Come on
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 would, like I got a fuckin' gun against my head
You live when I'm dead
One more time, mother fucker
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 equals shit
People equals shit
People equals shit
People equals shit
People equals shit / (Whatcha gonna do?)
People equals shit / ('Cause I am not afraid of you)
People equals shit / (I'm everything you'll never be)
People equals shit / (Yeah)
Yeah
Come on
It never stops
You can't be everything to everyone
Contagion
I'm sittin' at the side of Satan
What do you want from me?
They never told me the failure I was meant to be
Overdo it
Don't tell me you blew it
Stop your bitchin' and fight your way through it
I'm not like you
I just fuck up
C'mon mother fucker, everybody has to die
C'mon mother fucker, everybody has to die
People equals shit
People equals shit
People equals shit
People equals shit
People equals shit
People equals shit / (Yeah)
People equals shit / (Yeah)
People equals shit / (Yeah)
People equals shit
People equals shit
People equals shit
People equals shit
People equals shit
People equals shit / (Whatcha gonna do?)
People equals shit / ('Cause I am not afraid of you)
People equals shit / (I'm everything you'll never be)
People equals shit / (Yeah)

Richard Cheese's rendition of Slipknot's "People = S**t" is a satirical take on the original song, which was filled with rage, anger and frustration towards society. Cheese's version adds a comedic and upbeat twist to the nihilistic and dark lyrics. The song speaks about feeling alienated from society and being fed up with the world around them, with lines such as "Everybody hates me now, so fuck it" and "I'm not like you, I just fuck up." The chorus, "People equals shit," is a blunt statement about the perception of society being a source of negativity and disappointment.
The song features a lot of profanity, which Cheese uses to convey a sense of rebellion and disregard for societal norms. The lyrics suggest a desire to break free from the expectations and pressures of society, and to live life on one's own terms. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this sentiment, with the phrase "People equals shit" becoming a sort of mantra for the song.
The upbeat and energetic tempo of the song, coupled with Cheese's smooth lounge voice, creates a powerful contrast between the lyrics and the style of the music. This contrast highlights the absurdity of the original song, and turns what was once a dark and heavy song into a light-hearted and entertaining track.
