From God'S Perspective
Bo Burnham
4:22Anyway, I wanna thank you very much once more for coming This is my favorite thing to do, to perform Ah, and you coming allows me to do that And I really, really do appreciate that Honestly and genuinely I will now recede back in my stage persona I just blacked out for ten seconds Love songs used to be so beautiful, you know? "Let us go then you and I, when the evening is spread out against the sky" "Like a patient etherized upon a table" T.S. Elliot, beautiful Love songs nowadays just as beautiful, guys, if not more Justin Bieber, One Direction, Usher, you know them You know their love songs Beautiful, complex love songs But these new artists, the J Biebs, the One D's, the Usher's They've have done some very strange To the format, the structure and the purpose of love songs And I tried to capture how they've changed it with this love song I hope you enjoy it and most importantly, mark the differences Jason Derulo I love your hair, I love your name, I love the way you say it I love your heart and you're so smart, 'cause you gave away it I love your sis', I love your dad, I love your mum But more than all of that I love the fact that you are dumb enough To not realize everything I've said has been said before In a thousand ways, in a thousand songs, sung with the same four chords But you'll still love it, let me finger you, yeah finger you, finger you Oh girl, I hope you don't think that I'm rude When I tell you that I love you boo I also hope that you don't see through This cleverly constructed ruse Designed by a marketing team Cashing in on puberty and low self-esteem And girls' desperate need to feel loved America says we love a chorus But don't get complicated and bore us Though meaning might be missin' We need to know the words after just one listen so Repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff Repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff Repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff Repeat stuff, yeah I love my baby and you know I couldn't live without her But now I need to make every girl think this song's about her Just to make sure that they spread it like the plague So I describe my dream girl as really really vague, like "I love your hands 'cause your fingerprints are like no other" "I love your eyes and their blueish brownish greenish color" "I love it when you smile, that you smile wide" "And I love how your torso has an arm on either side" Now, if you're my agent you might be thinking "Oh no, sound the alarms" "You're not appealing to little girls who don't have arms" But they can't use iTunes So fuck 'em, who needs 'em Oh girl, oh hello satan Satan, you taste so good Repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff Repeat stuff, repeat stuff, everybody (Repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff) C'mon, louder, I can't hear you (Repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff) Young ones, listen up I'm in magazines full of model teens, so far above you So read them and hate yourself, then pay me to tell you I love you I love you And your parents will always come along, because their little girl is in love And how could love be wrong? How could love be wrong? When you Repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff Repeat stuff, I am a vessel, six, six, six, illuminati, free the United States We know it's not right, we know it's not funny But we'll stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money But until then, we will repeat stuff
