Ariel Pink - The People I'm Not Lyrics
Hey!
People, they talk a lot about it
But they don't have a clue
What it means, it's true
Who will try to beat you all day
But people, I'm not that way
I'm not that-
People think you can have it all
And people find other people
Who have what they don't
I am one of those egomaniacs
Who know just what to say
I'm not that-
Ey!
Drop that little handbook
And take him off the street, no
Cast him in a special
On Ferris Bueller's Day Off
[?] him at the same
Cast him in a special
Down town
Ooh
Ooh-aah [x3]
[x4]
He who tries to make a point
Misses the point every time
And every time I hit the nail on the head
It's my heart that beats ice
I am one of those cold-hearted guys
Who say love is a weakness, babe
But people, I'm not that way
Hey, let's get nervous
There's a button on your shoulder
And I'm pushing it over and over
Hey, kid, what's your name?
Hey, huh, the people I'm not
Hey, let's play gin
(Okay)
I'm gonna love you if you play
But I'll hit you if you win
'Cause it's my game
(Who the hell are you anyway?)
Well, the people I'm not
Okay, losers win
It's your turn
There's a button on your shoulder
And I'm pushing it over and over
You make [?] use of my time
The people I'm not
Okay, let's get nervous
(You get nervous)
I'm gonna love you if you play
But I'll hit you if you win
It's my game
It's my game
(Just as [?] calm you down now)
The people I'm not
Okay, let's play gin again!
There's a button on your shoulder
And I'm pushing it over and over, over
Huh, the people I'm not
Okay, losers win
It's your turn
You love to win
Don't you win
It's my game, game
The people I'm not
Let's get nervous
There's a button on your shoulder
And I'm pushing it over and over
Listenin'?
Who the hell are you anyway?
The people I'm not

Ariel Pink The People I'm Not Comments
I am one of those ego maniacs who knows just what to say... but people, I’m not that way.
put your number in my phoooooooooooone
Jairo Waters 🥺
Who are these people!!?
Oh. The people I'm not.
Man.. this song!
Lil b told me this is one of the realest songs ever wrote. True story.
why parceti thank you based god
Does anybody else hear a bit of Witchhunt suite for WW3 at the end?
Let's get nervous
2:45 music climax
Theres a dense, scratchy and magical space in all these early records
Yes. It's called Lo-fi.
is this song not on the vinyl version or something? just got the record and this song is missing. the whole reason I bought the album was because of this song. what the shit!!
look up the different releases of it on discogs or wiki or somethin, the info should be there. disappointing, still a good album tho! every night i die at miyagis, kate i wait, flying circles, alisa. this and flying circs are my favorite ones, id be sour if thisun was missin from my copy
The CD versions have bonus tracks, the vinyl versions are the albums as originally designed.. I won't buy The Doldrums for this reason, my favorite track isn't on it!
Actually, the original House Arrest has People I'm Not If I'm not mistaken. It does on the BBP 2002 release and on the Demoboot re-release a year later, as well as the '06 paw trax disc
Are you listening? Are you?
Best song on the album.
amazing played live!
where!?
Ariel Pink put out more please bruh
"Let's get nervous" - haha, fucking brilliant!
trhis is my fuggn JAM <3
DIY magic.
if anyone knows the chords to this song please contact me. thank you
try messaging mr pink to see if he'll give up the goods, he played house arrest live so i think he knows how to
@EmegopsForever Bro, same.
It’s because it’s onto tape at a weird speed there’s also lots of warping going on.
Take some drugs and start playing
@Jason isamu xD
1.48 !!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a great song
just checking.
hey man, did you mean to spell it hanuted in the title?
I get that Ariel Pink uses low-fi as an effect, and it absolutely works. But this is one of those songs that is so great it deserves its own remix/single; with one of them being maximum sound quality. This and "round and round" are seriously master works. Great job.
idont think he was purposely using low quality gear, i think it's all he had because now that he's got some dollars goin into his music he doesn't continue to cultivate that low-fi production sound, round and round being the perfect example.

fuck tho, id love to hear what he'd do to this song with a re-recording and quality equipment rather than some tin cans and a stray cat he found in his basement. maybe it wouldn't be anywhere near as sick a song, god knows
brilliant as fuck.. my minds blown
One of his best.
@browndaisies Right. It's so many sounds buried in this thing, it's ridiculous!
I bought this record from Amoeba about a week ago FOR THIS SONG, but it's not even one the record anymore...So disappointing! This is an amazing song and it's not even on the vinyl. Sad.
getting all worked up here
@fangettes who the hell are you anyway?
Let's get nervous.
Theres a button on your shoulder and I'm pushing it over and over.
I'm gonna love you if you play but I'll hit you if you win cuz its my game.
Matthew Carr who the hell are you anyway?
3 assholes out of spite.
@DoDasDew
now it's 2 assholes out of spite :(
@omgpuppies0707 :O
@DoDasDew 1 asshole out of spite
0 dislikes, that's right...
ariel pink is a greater lyricist than morrissey
morrissey is so fucking overrated
rahuljoban No he's not, Morrissey changed the fucking game back in the day
Massive Douche Robert Smith is better haha
this song and this lyric is just sick. sick. no one knows how to make perfect songs like ariel...no one.
prop thankz
