People So Stupid
Tom MacDonald Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hi

I'm praying that the world changes soon
Can't get a doobie on a plane, but there's Uzis in our schools
Every dude who touched a boob or a booty getting MeToo'd
What you expect from the kids who went to Hooters after school?
We're all triggered and defensive, we're all racist and we're sexist
We all grew up watching South Park, how are we offended?
Now being fat is beautiful? Name a thing that you can't do?
Jumping jacks, run a mile, live past 42

Man, it used to be cool to just flip a bird to the system
And now it's trendy to be triggered and pretend you're a victim
It's my race, it's my weight, it's because I'm a Christian
I hate the internet and anyone who has an opinion
And everybody angry if you say "white", 'kay, fine
Pass me the brush and I'll paint my face 'til the shade's right
Let's talk about abortion, sorry, tell me how this works
Bacteria is life on Mars, but a heartbeat isn't life on Earth? Weird

People are so stupid, why are y'all so stupid?
Get better problems, I swear to God that y'all want 'em, you're so dumb
People so stupid, people so dumb, people so boo-hoo, wah-wah-wah
Get better issues, we're gonna run out of tissues, it's so dumb

I'm a hater 'cause I can't relate to gay pride?
Call me homophobic because I don't wanna date guys? 'Kay tight
I, for one, I'm not surprised the world declined along the way
Giving trophies to children for losing just 'cause they decide to play
We exercise our right to vote then hate the politicians, ayy
This is a democracy, it's partly your decision, ayy
This is weird, it feels like this is a different year
If I identify as a female, then will my balls and penis disappear?

Children want a gender switch and hating men is feminist
Depression and anxiety are trendy, we're too sensitive
Invented 80 genders, now the world is not accepting it
They gave them more attention than normal women and men can get

What a contradiction, being human is so tragic
Focus on minorities, ignoring all the masses
Hallelujah, everyone, activism saved the planet
No more plastic straws in paper
Just paper straws wrapped in plastic, congratulations

People are so stupid, why are y'all so stupid?
Get better problems, I swear to God that y'all want 'em, you're so dumb
People so stupid, people so dumb, people so boo-hoo, wah-wah-wah
Get better issues, we're gonna run out of tissues, it's so dumb

Look I get it, it's like the world is going crazy
Seems like a school shooting happens almost daily
The racism, rape culture, hatred that we're facing
Is way too ingrained for our hashtags to change it
We became so lazy and complacent, afraid of our generation
We think activism's Instagramming memes and complaining
It's a problem when there's actually actions you could be taking
But you're triggered, so you just cry like a baby

People are so stupid, why are y'all so stupid?
Get better problems, I swear to God that y'all want 'em, you're so dumb




People so stupid, people so dumb, people so boo-hoo, wah-wah-wah
Get better issues, we're gonna run out of tissues, it's so dumb

Overall Meaning

In "People So Stupid," Tom MacDonald expresses his frustrations with the current state of society, particularly with the ways in which people jump on bandwagons and take stances on hot-button issues without fully understanding or educating themselves on the matter. He highlights the hypocrisies that exist within cultural movements, noting that what was once marginalized (such as obesity) is now celebrated, while other groups or beliefs are ostracized. He also points out that the rush to victimhood is a growing trend, with people fighting to be recognized as victims in society. The chorus is a direct indictment of society's preoccupation with trivial, non-issues, and a call to action for people to focus on more important problems.


Through the verses, MacDonald covers a range of topics, from the #MeToo movement and school shootings to gender identity confusion and social media activism. He points out contradictions in the way society deals with different issues and suggests that over-sensitivity and knee-jerk reactions are not the answers to solving problems. MacDonald argues that a more thoughtful, rational approach to issues is required and that sometimes people need to take a step back and see the bigger picture.


Overall, "People So Stupid" is a commentary on the current state of society and is a call to action for people to be more discerning and thoughtful in their approach to problems. It encourages people to focus on important, big-picture issues rather than the petty, superficial ones that are taking up so much of our collective mindspace.

The great thing is is that he can’t get cancelled bc he writes, records, and produces his own songs. He’s solo

@Anonymous-rx9lp

Like Prince, but straight off the ghetto!

@rahlap2449

If they ban him on social media and a couple of other platforms he would be cancelled. Doubt they do it tho.

@DarthQuaint

@rah lap they are making way too much money off of his views on Spotify to ever think about canceling him. Same for YouTube, though he has to censor his songs with curse words and Donald Trump's name in it.

@jeffb5192

Youre shitting me, they're censoring Trumps name in shit?

@danielwill4306

You do realize he’s backed by Eminem right

@liminary__

bro you don't even listen to rap, do you?

@Frost-ze6rw

I’m an 82 year old autistic virgin who usually doesn’t like rap music, but my grandchildren showed me this Tom fellow and I actually have to say it’s amazing. He says things that everyone else is afraid to say, and he’s not a mumble crapper. Keep spreading these amazing messages Tom!
