I met a girl, we really connected
And that's not even a euphemism
We both like the films that David Fincher directed
For their beauty and their cynicism
She attempted to turn our conversation into flirtation and I
I poured out my chai all over the table
And threw my butter chicken wrap at her face
'Cause people are awful
And feelings are bullshit
No matter what we try to pretend, yeah
People are awful
And feelings are bullshit
And I never wanna feel 'em again
I had a friend, a friend who got married
To a girl he loved 'cause she felt the same
Asked me to be the best man, I said "I'd be honoured, Gary,"
Think I forgot to mention Gary's his name
After the ceremony I grabbed the microphone and tapped it twice
Then shat in my tux and sat on the wedding cake
While screaming the lyrics to Gangsta's Paradise
'Cause people are awful
And feelings are bullshit
No matter what we try to pretend, yeah
People are awful
And feelings are bullshit
And I never wanna feel 'em again
Been spending most our lives living in a Gangsta's Paradise
Been spending most our lives living in a Gangsta's Paradise
Been spending most our lives living in a Gangsta's Paradise
Been spending most our lives living in a Gangsta's Paradise
