After another long hiatus, Slipknot released its fifth studio album, .5: The Gray Chapter, in 2014. Their sixth studio album, We Are Not Your Kind, was released on August 9, 2019. Their seventh studio album, The End, So Far, was released on September 30, 2022.

Yeah!
Yeah!
Here we go again motherfucker!
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
It isn't like I wanna sift through the decay
I feel like a wound, 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 = Shit
People = Shit
People = Shit
People = Shit
People = Shit (Whatcha gonna do?)
People = Shit (Cause I am not afraid of you)
People = Shit (I'm everything you'll never be)
People = Shit
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
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
[Repeat: x13]
People = Shit
People = Shit (Whatcha gonna do?)
People = Shit (Cause I am not afraid of you)
People = Shit (I'm everything you'll never be)
People = Shit
And their right!
The song "People = Sh*t" by Slipknot is a testament to the anger and frustration felt by the band towards society. The first verse starts by calling out an unnamed person as an idiot and sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer of the song is too messed up to beg, and on the surface, he is not afraid to care. The singer is confused about what's wrong with the world and the chaos that surrounds it. The first verse culminates with a desire to be left alone and the disappointment at not being able to feel anything. The chorus of the song is repeated eight times and serves as a declaration of contempt for people. The chorus seems to suggest that people, in general, are terrible and that there is no hope.
The second verse of the song touches on the theme of unpopularity and how the singer is now an outcast. He is covered in blood and doesn't know why, but he isn't afraid to cry. He wants people to leave him alone to live his life, but because of his situation, he is unable to do so. The chorus is repeated again eight times, and it is clear that the singer feels powerless when it comes to people. He is angry, frustrated, and doesn't see any way out.

Yeah!
Let's get pumped up and ready for this
Yeah!
We're not messing around
Yeah!
One more time - let's do this
Here we go again motherfucker!
We're back and we're not holding back
Come on down, and see the idiot right here
I'm not afraid to call myself an idiot
Too fucked to beg and not afraid to care
I'm not asking for help, but I still care about what's happening
What's the matter with calamity anyway?
Calamity is just another way of saying disaster, and what's so different about that?
Right? Get the fuck outta my face
Can you not see I'm trying to deal with my problems? Leave me alone
Understand that I can't feel anything
I'm completely numb and detached from everything
It isn't like I wanna sift through the decay
I don't want to spend my time sorting through all the bad stuff
I feel like a wound, like I got a fuckin'
I'm hurting so much it's like I'm a walking open wound that won't heal
Gun against my head, you live when I'm dead
I feel like I'm being threatened and that I'm only alive because I'm still allowing myself to be
One more time, mother fucker
We're not done yet, let's keep going
Everybody hates me now, so fuck it
I'm at the point where I don't care what anyone thinks about me anymore
Blood's on my face and my hands, and I
I'm covered in my own mess and I don't know how or why
Don't know why, I'm not afraid to cry
I don't know why I'm not afraid to show my emotions anymore
But that's none of your business
My feelings are personal and private, and I don't have to explain or justify them to anyone
Whose life is it? Get it? See it? Feel it? Eat it?
Who does my life belong to? Do you understand me? Can you see what I'm going through? Can you feel my pain? Can you relate to me?
Spin it around so I can spit in its face
I want to turn my life upside down and face it head-on
I wanna leave without a trace
I want to disappear without a trace, as if I was never here
'Cause I don't wanna die in this place
I don't want to die here, both physically and mentally
People = Shit
People can be terrible and make life miserable
People = Shit
This is a harsh truth that can't be ignored
People = Shit
It doesn't matter who people are, they can still be awful
People = Shit
Good people are a rare sight in this world
People = Shit (Whatcha gonna do?)
What can we do about these terrible people?
People = Shit (Cause I am not afraid of you)
I'm not afraid of these kind of people anymore
People = Shit (I'm everything you'll never be)
I'm not like these people and I don't want to be
People = Shit
This statement rings true every day
It never stops, you can't be everything to everyone
People will always complain, and trying to please everyone will drive you insane
Contagion I'm sitting at the side of Satan
The evil and negativity is contagious and all around me
What do you want from me?
What more can I offer?
They never told me the failure I was meant to be
No one warned me about the inevitable failures and hardships that are part of life
Overdo it, don't tell me you blew it
I'm trying my hardest, don't tell me I messed up
Stop your bitchin' and fight your way through it
Stop complaining and start fighting to fix your problems
I'm, not, like, you, I, just, fuck, up
I'm different from you, and all I do is mess things up
C'mon mother fucker, everybody has to die
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and accept that death is inevitable
C'mon mother fucker, everybody has to die
Don't try to outrun death, it will catch up eventually
People = Shit
People are still shitty, no matter what
People = Shit (Whatcha gonna do?)
What can you do about the inevitable assholes in this world?
People = Shit (Cause I am not afraid of you)
I'm done with letting these shitty people intimidate me
People = Shit (I'm everything you'll never be)
I don't want to stoop down to the levels of these terrible people
People = Shit
We can't expect everyone to be good, but we can definitely strive for it
