Lyrics of
All Eyes On Me

This song is part of Bo Burnhams comedy special Inside, independently shot during the COVID-19 quarantine. In All Eyes On Me, Bo discusses his struggles with mental health and how they influenced his break and eventual return to live performance.

Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seats
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seats
All eyes on me, all eyes on me

Are you feeling nervous?
Are you having fun?
It's almost over, it's just begun
Don't overthink this, look in my eye
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Come on in, the water's fine

We're going to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody oh
We're going to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows

Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me, hey yo,
Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me

Heads down, pray for me
Heads down now, pray for me
Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me

You wanna hear a funny story? So, uh, five years ago,
I quit performing live comedy, because I was beginning to have uh,
severe panic attacks, while on stage, which is not a great place to have them
So I, I quit, and I didn't perform for five years, I spent that time
trying to improve myself mentally. And you know what? I did! I got better.
I got so much better, in fact, that in January of
2020, I thought, "You know what? I should
start performing again. I've been hiding from the world
and I need to re-enter.
And then, the funniest thing happened

Are you feeling nervous?
Are you having fun?
It's almost over, it's just begun
Don't overthink this, look in my eye
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Come on in, the water's fine

You say the ocean's rising
Like I give a shit
You say the whole world's ending
Honey, it already did
You're not gonna slow it
Heaven knows you tried
Got it? Good, now get inside

We're going to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody oh
We're going to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows

Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Heads down, pray for me
Heads down now, pray for me
I said get your fucking hands up
Get up! Get up!
I'm talking to you, get the fuck up!
Get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Hey, fuckin', get your fucking hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Come on, heads down, pray for me
Heads down now, pray for me
I said get your fucking hands up
Get on- *laughs*
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
