In a frenetic whirlwind of punk energy, The 1975 delivers a raw wake-up call to a generation entangled in apathy and digital distractions. "People" is a raucous anthem that shakes listeners out of their complacency, urging them to confront societal decay head-on. It paints a picture of millennials grappling with political disillusionment, economic instability, and the allure of escapism through superficial pleasures. With biting lyrics like "The economy's a goner, republic's a banana," the song critiques the current state of affairs while calling for genuine human connection and activism. Beneath its chaotic surface lies a plea to stop "fucking with the kids" and start nurturing the potential within young people to drive meaningful change. It's an urgent reminder that despite feeling powerless, we must rally together and strive for something greater—before it's too late.
People
Lyrics
Wake up, wake up, wake up
It's Monday morning and we've only got a thousand of them left
Well, I know it feels pointless and you don't have any money
But we're all just gonna try our fucking best
Well, my generation wanna fuck Barack Obama
Living in a sauna with legal marijuana
Well, girls, food, gear
I don't like going outside, so bring me everything here
(Yeah, woo, yeah, that's right)
People like people
They want alive people
The young surprise people
Stop fucking with the, fucking with the
People like people
They want alive people
The young surprise people
Stop fucking with the, fucking with the
People like people
They want alive people
The young surprise people
Stop fucking with the, fucking with the
People like people
They want alive people
The young surprise people
Stop fucking with the kids
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We are appalling and we need to stop just watching shit in bed
And I know it sounds boring and we like things that are funny
But we need to get this in our fucking heads
The economy's a goner, republic's a banana, ignore it if you wanna
Fuck it, I'm just gonna get girls, food, gear
I don't like going outside, so bring me everything here
(Yeah, woo, yeah)
People like people
They want alive people
The young surprise people
Stop fucking with the, fucking with the
People like people
They want alive people
The young surprise people
Stop fucking with the, fucking with the
People like people
They want alive people
The young surprise people
Stop fucking with the kids
People like people
They want alive people
The young surprise people
Stop fucking with the kids
People like people
They want alive people
The young surprise people
Stop fucking with the, fucking with the
People like people
They want alive people
The young surprise people
Stop fucking with the, fucking with the
People like people
They want alive people
The young surprise people
Stop fucking with the kids
