when you tell me i'm a saint, or tell me I'm a sinner
or tell me I'm something else
what do you mean by that?
if i come around and act like your brother
then you tell i'm a good catch
what do you mean by that?
take a second before you open your big mouth, man
i can't make it out when you make it up!
so don't make it up, man!
you say you don't wanna touch it
or eat it or drink it or be around it
cuz you're a good conservative christian
what do you mean by that?
so you voted for the president opposite parents
between drags you smirk now you are a socialist liberal
what do you mean by that?
i can give you the world all that you really wanted,
what do you mean by that?
just give in a little, just give in a little bit come on,
what do you mean by that?
is it really worth it? you're pitiful, you're gonna get killed! what do you mean by that?
i'm standing right here, you ain't gonna get rid of me!
what do I mean by that?
I'm ready to die!

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
