Bo Burnham - We Think We Know You Lyrics
[Intro: Bo]
Thank you so much, I think that I probably should've, uh, ended it on a higher note
A big ending or whatever, but, uh...it's been "what.", I hope you enjoyed it-
Bo, oh my god
How are you? I haven't seen you since, like, Freshman year, oh my God!
You were so, like, skinny and weird back then, um...
But now you're, um...
Anyway, um, you should totally come to this party I'm having tonight with a bunch of my college friends
Um, it's gonna be off the chain-hook, it's gonna be so good
You can play some songs for us or something
Um, I've been telling everybody how good of friends we were, um, back in the day
Um, I know we never talked or hung out ever, but um...
Anyway, text me! Okay, bye
[Agent]
Mister Burnham
How ya doin', good? Good
Uh, I'm a, uh, I'm an agent from out in Los Angeles
Uh, really dig your stuff man, it's out there, you know, I totally get it
Uh, and the best part about it, man, you've got all these young fans, uh, and
Which is great, because young people, they're...
They're very passionate, and they're very, uh, they're very reliable consumers
But what you've gotta do to take your career to the next level?
You've gotta cater more heavily to them, alright?
We've done studies, young people do not respond to this...
You know, "introspective" material, or these "challenges-to-the-form", you know...
Young people want jokes they can relate to, okay?
So...write a...write a silly song about Facebook, you know?
Write some jokes about Twitter, or...or sugary cereals, or...razor scooters
Relate to them!
You know, also, you've gotta reestablish your presence on the internet, buddy
Alright, it's not important whether your material's "good" or not
What's important is that you keep the Bo Burnham brand alive and well
Ya get it?
But we'll discuss more later, I know it's a lot
Uhh, my number is, uh, 310-555-...uhh, [mumbling] "imaginary number"
[Jock Boy]
Fag!
What up, dude, what's up, how are ya man?
You've changed, bro. You've changed
I never knew you, but, um
My friend's old roommate's friend said he knew you in high school and you became a real asshole once all this "comedy" stuff started happening
What, what is it man? You think you're better than us?
You think you're better than us just cause you're tall?
Whoa, congrats man, you're tall!
Wow, it's incredible! What, you want a trophy for being tall?
You wanna...we should just give trophies to tall things
And every tree and building will have a trophy
That make sense?
Yo, why you acting all quiet and weird right now?
Yo I know why you are, it's cause you're an arrogant prick, that's why
An arrogant fuckin' prick
I once heard that you actually act quiet cause you're shy and introverted in real life
And that people shouldn't expect you to act the same way offstage as you do onstage [laughs]
Yeah...yeah, it makes no sense
Anyway, you wanna buy some weed?

Bo Burnham We Think We Know You Comments
why does it sounds like cody ko voiced in this
This is great but also all I can think of is "oh the poor techies..."
These comments are like "WELCOME TO THE BO-VERSE." I like when there is an entire canon developed around a comedian that is good at hiding meanings.
How many people have the balls to make/do something like that?
Seriously. This guy's a legend.
Is that his voice? It kinda sounds like Shayne Topp
😭😭😭😭😭😭😂
Nobody epileptic kids 6:25
This is the last thing you see during a seizure
I think it's funny to think about him just dancing around while a recording plays
That man is a genius
Song starts at 3:10
Melody at 4:49
Been with him for like five or six years. Love him and support him to this day. It’s not a long time, I know, but it still matters (I hope). He’s done such good work and I live for his song “Left Brain, Right Brain”.
the song is nice and all. but shit it has a dark meaning. J aubrey explains it alot better but its about him Trying to basically tune out the voices with music. thats why everything gets progressively louder recommend watching his video cause he goes into much more detail
My theory on this song is that it’s Bo Burnham’s attempt to reveal to the audiences that he’s being trapped in a loop of depression. The reason I think this is because it starts with the We Think We Know You as super loud, and him trying to drown the voices out with music as he slowly starts becoming depressed. His other songs fit in with this theory too. In his Kanye West rant song he says something that seems like another classic joke, but might not actually be one (Come see the skinny white kid with a steadily declining mental health, as he attempts to give you what he cannot give himself). Meaning that Bo Burnham joined the industry without thinking about it, and now he is stuck giving his audience what he can’t give himself.
Happiness.
6:10 Scott Pilgrim vs The World vibes from this gutar solo
Oh. My. God.
Couldn’t be more talented
So dramatic 😂💙
He wanted all those lights even though he could have fed a family or for forty fucking fortnights
This is incredibly creative, and definitely a great song.
Being tall is sometimes a damn burden
What did he say at 3:40
This is probably my fav song from him
dont post something end then censore it, whats the point ffs
What here was censored?
I love his songs
Nobody:
My brain during math: BO OMG-
When the 'we think we know you' kicked in, it took me a second to realize the genius of this man.
The song starts at 3:10
I never knew someone could actually air guitar and make it awesome.
No body knows you not even you apparently
There’s something so empowering about seeing someone act like there’s no one watching knowing full well that everyone is staring
3:58
yeees
Aw man, I was really hoping it would end with the: “anyways, wanna buy some weed?”
Did anybody else get any pitch perfect vibes from the last part 5:47-6:07
3:10 is the start
as a 13 year old, i completely relate to the existential challenges to the form...
I AN SATAN LORD OF DARKNESS
an arrogant FOCKING prick
Bo was always one to put his struggles into song..And make them *fucking epic*
Did Bo voice the white lyrics?
*Was and will stay, my favorite bit of all time*
Favorite part: *Pure Awesomeness*
he hit the guitar solo like a boss
has anybody tried to call 310-555 yet?,im just curious:)
Talent? Bo
Hotel? Trivago
So Satan is real but god isn't? Well we're screwed.
Why Block Out The Haters When You Can Make Music Outta Them
holy fuck howd i just now find this
expected to hear more from satan...
I JUST REALISED BO POINTED RIGHT TOWARDS THE JOCK WHEN HE SAID HIGHER
OMG
Probably my favorite performance of his
*PURE AWESOMENESS
**Pure awesomeness**
6:28 is be skiing, or is he in a gay porn
This is a diss track to his haters
Why is this on my recommend.. but its cool anyway
I litteraly read: "we know we dont know the lyrics"
“oFf ThE cHaIn HoOk”
its funny but like real life its true
this makes me fucking sob
Lmao this is the first time I’ve /seen/ this and I had no idea that the crickets were him pointing at “God” and not getting a response. That’s hilarious
I want to hear the 30 minute jam version
This is the most creative musical peaces i have ever seen.
I like how when Bo starts playing air piano and stuff its like an escape
The voices get quieter and he distracts himself with beauty, always stepping back to watch
Then he changes the voice pitches like he's making fun of his haters.
But it gets so intense and he just stops out of breath as the voice becomes so loud and his music is just off
this is actually really good art piece
not to say that comedy wasn't art in general but like, you know
I legit died on “I am satin lord of darkness”
I knew God was a cricket
Every time i see this i am so amazed by his talent
Bruh, you know you can't get to a man when he starts jamming out to your insults XD
The voices (criticism) fade out while he plays some music but never shut up... hmmm genious
i am 14 and thats deep
*me listening to this in church while everyone worships and I just listen to crickets*
Favorite Line: " I am Satan Lord of darkness"
Oh fuck😂😂😂
I'm young and I can enjoy every bit of your show
First time I heard this I got goosebumps this dude is a genius shame he left comedy but I respect his choice
oh shoot he's actually 6'5" dang hes tall
6:10 moment of pure awesomeness
I just started bingeing him so I just came from the left brain right brain song
when the voices start turning to "we think we know you" always hits me. It always makes me cry
Air instruments have reached a new level.
Bo,
OH
MY
*GAWD*
Bo is a psychological master. But that's Just a Theory.
A BO THEORY
This is how every YouTuber must feel
This dude has so much passion, it's amazing
Bop starts at 3:10
It breaks my heart every time he points to the audience at the end
"I am satan lord of darkness"
i love how its just his imagantion its amazing continue what your doing bro
by far one of my favorites in bo history. it's so creative and well choreographed. i hope bo never changes.
I like how when hes playing the air guitar the subtitles say at the top "pure awesomeness"
I love his weird little dance
what if he messed up
*I AM SATAN, LORD OF DARKNESS*
*pure awesomeness*😂they should have put that as the title
*Im Satan,Lord of darkness*
*Audience erupts into laughter and clapping*
