Fear Lyrics
[00:00.04] Sometimes I get scared
[00:07.09] Is that a relatable premise?
[00:11.03] Sometimes I'm frightened
[00:12.58] Like recently, I was at a bar and I ordered over somebody
[00:16.11] I didn't mean to, but there was a smaller man in front of me
[00:19.56] You know, like 5'1"
[00:21.05] And I ordered over him like a rainbow order
[00:25.06] I didn't mean to, I promise I wasn't trying to be a badass
[00:27.62] I was like, "White wine, please!"
[00:33.65] Whatever's fresh
[00:34.93] Pino? Pino?
[00:38.02] Yeah, grease, not new art?
[00:41.34] And it must have already happened to that guy earlier that night
[00:44.50] 'Cause he went from zero to furious just like that
[00:46.70] He spun on his tiny heel
[00:50.01] He was just like, you motherfuckers have been standing up for too long
[00:53.22] I got afraid
[00:55.13] And when you get afraid, the human body has no good ideas
[01:00.89] It's all evolution, it's all fight or flight
[01:03.08] So the first thing normally when you're afraid
[01:04.48] Is it makes your shoulders go up
[01:06.75] That's its brilliant idea
[01:09.60] Have you ever noticed when you're afraid, you're like, ah-ah-ah
[01:13.63] That's your brain going, protect the neck!
[01:18.84] Don't let it get the neck!
[01:21.77] We keep everything in the neck
[01:26.39] So your shoulders go up
[01:27.88] And then oftentimes you'll cross your arms too
[01:30.00] Because these are your loins
[01:31.59] Well, no, these aren't
[01:33.46] Loin cloth is down
[01:35.04] These aren't your loins, this is your stomach
[01:37.29] This is you
[01:38.29] Just learning together in a safe space
[01:41.23] This is your stomach
[01:43.90] But you have to protect your stomach too
[01:45.36] 'Cause if a lion swipes you on your stomach, that's a kill stroke
[01:48.89] You'll watch your intestine just unravel like eight millimeter film
[01:52.07] Just like -
[01:53.39] Ah, I'm about to pass!
[01:56.94] So you have to cross your arms, and the shoulders go up
[01:59.70] This is a scared pose, you know?
[02:01.61] Like, stand-up is scary
[02:03.09] That's why you see a lot of stand-ups up here being like
[02:05.01] So Triscuits are coming out in new flavors
[02:06.82] Because
[02:12.30] Sour cream and onion? How about your sour cream, huh?
[02:15.63] What the fuck else is going on?
[02:18.35] That's because we think you're gonna lunge at us
[02:20.71] Somewhere in our lizard minds
[02:24.32]
[00:07.09] Is that a relatable premise?
