Description
This song was released as a single for the Funny Music Project on November 13, 2016 with the description "Summary of this year. One of the many BONUS TRACKS you get when you purchase a copy of Spirit Phone!" Neil likely described it as a "summary" of 2016 because of the nature of the song, being about angry people doing crazy things, with a tinge of strong nationalism.
On the commentary track for Spirit Phone, Neil says this about the song:
"Angry People is this intense techno song about how, I guess, hate sex leads to evil babies? And everyone’s angry and trying to lead normal lives without ever not being angry and they turn into wolves and tigers and stuff."
Lyrics
There is anger In this country. It fills the hearts Of these people. Eating with anger, Dancing with anger, Falling in love With each other with anger. When a man and a woman Hate each other very much They make love angrily Like birds of prey and Africanized bees And with a little bit of luck they'll concieve! They will conceive An evil baby Nine horrible months And then she is born Let into a world That doesn't want her A beautiful girl She's screaming already She's learning to walk Walking with anger She's learning to talk She says she hates you She wants you to pay For bringing her here You've never been chased by a baby before You secretly wish she had never been born You secretly wish you hadn't bought her a gun! What were you thinking?! But now it's too late She fires her gun Now there's a hole in your face You hate to show weakness In front of your child But sooner or later, Everybody must die! Die by the hand Of their own evil baby You realize this now It makes you feel Hey look out! We're angry people Exploding in love We're completely normal Throwing bottles at God You did this to us, Why did you do this to us? We're angry people With financial problems Making evil babies Evil babies with guns Is this completely normal? Everything's completely normal. (wolf howl) We're angry people Exploding in love We're completely normal Throwing bottles at God You did this to us, Why did you do this to us? We're angry people With financial problems Making evil babies Evil babies with guns It's completely normal, Everything's completely normal. (chorus repeats) Put on your glasses Get your calculator There's too many people Drinking too much water Overpopulating Every jurisdiction The phones are ringing Simultaneously 1-800 number? Let it go to voicemail If it's that important They'll leave a message! I mean we're normal people Too busy to talk At the supermarket Buying bottles of water The big one's coming, I hope you have a basement Take off your glasses. Let me see your eyes. They're red and bloodshot Exactly like mine That's completely normal Everything's completely normal We're angry people! Exploding in love We're completely normal Throwing bottles at God You did this to us, Why did you do this to us? We're angry people Turning into tigers We're angry people Turning into wolves We're angry people Turning into tigers We're angry people Turning into wolves We're angry people Turning into tigers We're angry people Turning into wolves We're angry people Turning into tigers We're angry people Turning into wolves We're angry people Turning into tigers We're angry people!
