People = Shit Lyrics
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 that 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
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
Cuz I don't wanna diein this place
People = Shit (Whatcha gonna do?)
People = Shit (Cuz I am not afraid of you)
People = Shit (I'm everything you'll never be)
People = Shit
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
People = Shit (Whatcha gonna do?)
People = Shit (Cuz I am not afraid of you)
People = Shit (I'm everything you'll never be)
People = Shit

I read on another site what slipknot's member Shawn crahan said the meaning of this song was. He said the meaning is "people are like an incurable disease that is destroying or world" or something similar to that.
read my post!
read my post!

IF U HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM WITH IT THEN GO THE FUCK AWAY! ITS SIMPLE U ARE ALL JUST JELOUS BECAUSE HES FAMOUS AND U ARNT!
STOP TALKING OUT OF UR ASS AND GO HOME!
~heather~

I'm not sure if other people have said this.
But I think this song is about how people don't care about anybody else but themselves anymore. They won't even do something as simple as letting someone into to traffic because they have to get to where they need to go and that's the only thing that matters.
And also I'm sick and tired of everybody thinking I'm fucked up because I say People = Shit.

Pure misanthropy. That basically sums up this song :)

i agree with u classicalman114, people r fuckin greedy pricks and society will end up destroying itself, people r so fuckin corrupt, all they care about is money and power.....

no most fucking people=shit, theyre are few of us in the world taht have realized that most people are shit, most of the people that have realized this are on this site telling thier view of how they think everyone = shit.

i think the song is about takin no shit and giving the world hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Accept it, you're nothing special, everything you did or can do is because of a set of random events. You are shit. I am shit. We're all shit. We're shitting up the whole world. Everything was fine until we came along. Now we're practically on the process of bringing the world back to becoming a barren wasteland. Now that we've realised that, the scientists are looking for 'planets that can support life on earth' not beacuse they're interested on finding 'intelligent life forms' but so we can do it all over again. We're like a virus that sucks the life out of what we owe our lives to, when it's useless we just throw it away and just look for another one and do the same thing all over again.
