[00:01.329]Hey, kids
[00:02.582]Today, we're gonna learn about the world
[00:07.759]The world that's around us is pretty amazing
[00:11.761]But how does it work? It must be comp-a-licated
[00:15.433]The secret is the world can only work
[00:19.106]When everything works together
[00:22.510]A bee drinks from a flower and leaves with its pollen
[00:26.415]A squirrel in a tree spreads the seeds that have fallen
[00:30.183]Everything works together
[00:33.181]The biggest elephant, the littlest fly
[00:36.944]The gophers underground, the birds in the sky
[00:40.210]And every single cricket, every fish in the sea
[00:44.199]Gives what they can and gets what they need
[00:48.053]That is how the world works
[00:52.625]That is how the world works
[00:55.448]From A to zebra to the worms in the dirt
[00:58.993]That's how it works
[01:03.337]
[01:04.156]Hey, everyone, look who stopped by to say hello!
[01:07.973]It's Socko!
[01:09.698]Hey!
[01:11.560]Where you been, Socko?
[01:13.436]I've been where I always am when you're not wearing me on your hand:
[01:17.819]In a frightening, liminal space between states of being!
[01:22.107]Not quite dead, not quite alive! It's similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis
[01:28.450]Socko, we were just talking about the world and how it works
[01:31.970]Boy, that sounds complicated!
[01:34.581]Do you have anything you'd want to teach us about the world?
[01:37.469]I wouldn't say anything that you probably haven't already said yourself
[01:41.125]I don't know about that, Socko. How about you give it a try?
[01:45.602]Alright!
[01:47.370]The simple narrative taught in every history class
[01:51.188]Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist
[01:55.240]Don't you know? The world is built with blood! And genocide and exploitation!
[02:02.175]The global network of capital essentially functions
[02:05.998]To separate the worker from the means of production
[02:09.678]And the FBI killed Martin Luther King
[02:13.351]Private property's inherently theft
[02:16.286]And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left
[02:19.779]And every politician, every cop on the street
[02:23.401]Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
[02:27.363]That is how the world works (Really?)
[02:32.042]That is how the world works
[02:35.070]Genocide the Natives, say you got to it first
[02:38.846]That's how it works
[02:43.054]That's pretty intense
[02:44.822]No shit!
[02:46.608]What can I do to help?
[02:48.915]Read a book or something, I don't know.
[02:51.475]Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you. It's incredibly exhausting!
[02:57.109]I'm sorry, Socko. I was just trying to become a better person
[03:00.972]Inside (The Songs)+How the World Works+Bo Burnham+Why do you rich ****ing white people insist on seeing every socio-political conflict through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?
[03:10.668]Inside (The Songs)+How the World Works+Bo Burnham+This isn't about you! So either get with it or get out of the ****ing way!
[03:15.975]Watch your mouth, buddy. Remember who's on whose hand here
[03:19.753]Inside (The Songs)+How the World Works+Bo Burnham+But that's what I've— Have you not been ****ing listening?
[03:22.785]We are entrenched in—
[03:23.122]Alright! Alright! I...
[03:23.915]Wait, wait, wait! No, please! I don't wanna go back, please! I can't go— I can't go back! Please! Please. I'm sorry
[03:34.578]Are you gonna behave yourself?
[03:37.412]Yes
[03:39.558]"Yes," what?
[03:43.234]Yes, s-
[03:44.322]Look at me
[03:47.590]Yes, sir
[03:50.634]That's better
[03:52.771]That is how the world works
[03:57.134]That is how the world works
[03:59.688]I hope you learned your lesson! (I did, and it hurt!)
[04:03.686]That's how it works
[04:10.400]
[04:13.232]No! No!
