[Intro]
[Spoken Word]
One more.
The Ultimate Edition.
Which is a joke.
Unless you paid for it.
Then it's a package.
Please remain seated.
Please remain distinct.
If you came here to become yourself —
we have a form for that.
It's by the door.
There's a queue.
This is
Everything Is Somebody Else.
[Spoken Word]
Have a wonderful day.
Remain distinct.
Your uniqueness has been processed and approved.
If you came here to become yourself —
we have a form for that.
It's by the door.
There's a queue.
This is
Everything Is Somebody Else.
[Verse 1] (dry, almost spoken, smile in the voice)
Good morning. Please remain distinct.
Your uniqueness has been processed and approved.
There are four hundred ways to be yourself this season
and we have them all in stock.
Be authentic. Here's the guide.
Be spontaneous — the window closes Friday.
Be present. Be here now.
Not here. Here. The one with the discount.
[Spoken Word]
If you're already yourself — don't worry.
There's an upgrade.
[Chorus]
Everything is somebody else.
That's the deal, that's how it works.
The river is a supplier.
The forest is a delay.
The neighbour is a market
and the market has a mood,
and the mood tonight is nervous,
so please be somebody else.
[Verse 2]
We are all connected — it says so on the tin,
in a font that costs more than the tin.
We are one big family, the airline says,
and charges the family for the seat.
And the man who owns the water
puts a bird on the label,
and the bird is very grateful,
and the bird is not consulted.
[Spoken Word]
The bird has a manager now.
[Chorus]
Everything is somebody else.
That's the deal, that's how it works.
I have a self! It came with the account.
I curate it. I audit it. I grow it, week on week.
I am the CEO of me, and business has been rough —
my engagement's down, my sleep is down,
my inner child has filed a complaint.
I outsourced my attention to a firm in California
and they've been very good with it,
and they will not give it back.
[Spoken Word]
If your phone just lit up —
that was them, checking in.
[Verse 4]
We have a word for what we take
and no word for what we take it from.
We have a price for every hour
and no price for the hour after last.
We measure everything except the measurer,
we've built a mirror with a wall behind it,
and we call the wall the world,
and we call the wall objective.
[Bridge]
Now here's the funny part, and it is funny —
the whole machine is running on a rumour.
Somebody said we came in separate pieces
and everybody built accordingly:
the fences and the flags,
the contracts and the guns,
the little cardboard borders round the heart —
all of it, beautifully engineered,
around a hole where the evidence should be.
You want the punchline?
Nobody has ever found the seam.
Not one. Not ever.
We looked for it with everything we had,
and what we found instead was: it goes all the way through.
[Verse 5] (dry)
So sue me. Sue the river.
Get the forest on the phone.
Take the wind to arbitration,
we'll be reasonable, we'll settle out of court.
Or — and I'm only thinking out loud here —
we could try the other rumour.
It's cheaper. It's been available for ages.
It just doesn't scale, and nobody makes a cent.
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Everything is somebody else.
That's the deal, that's how it works —
until the day it doesn't,
until the morning someone looks across the table
at the difficult, the foreign, the expensive one,
and something in the stomach says
the worst thing it could say:
that's me. That's just me, wearing weather.
[Outro]
[Spoken Word]
Have a wonderful day.
Remain distinct.
Your uniqueness has been processed and approved.
Merchandise is by the door.
The river is not for sale.
Thank you.
Go home as you are.
Goodnight.
