lyrics

PEOPLE

What am I gonna tell my children
When they come and say, "Hey dad
Why do I have this feeling that the world is really bad?"
Well, I don’t know the reason
But if you wanna make it through
You’re gonna have to deal with people and
What they wanna do to you

Some are gonna make you happy
Some are gonna be bad liars
Some are gonna put you on a pedestal
Some are gonna crucify ya
People
Some are gonna want your babies
People
Some are gonna take your cash
People
Some are gonna hurt you though they didn't mean to do it
People people people
Some of them won’t even ask.

Can’t always tell by looking
If they’re evil or benign
You reach out but they fly away like birds upon a line
If hell is other people
And who’s to say that isn’t true
Remember what I said about them and
What they’re gonna do to you

Some are gonna make you happy
Some are gonna be bad liars
Some are gonna put you on a pedestal
Some are gonna crucify ya
People
Some are gonna want your babies
People
Some are gonna take your cash
People
Some are gonna hurt you though they didn't mean to do it
People people people
Some of them won’t even ask?
