People lyrics

(Thompson/Foreman)
[Backgound vocals throughout the song: "People !"]
People, it's been a long time coming
Many years spent hop skipping and a-jumping
We cracked the golden egg and cooked our goose
There's no excuse, accept my truce
There's a tremor in the air of all hell breaking loose
And people, you like it or not, you'll go unheard
Like the unknown soldier who didn't say a word
Rounded up like the blood beaten rest of the herd
At the crossroads of life in itself seems absurd
But I'll hopscotch, cartwheel across, pointing the finger of fate
Oh, I'm in the mood to create
People people
People, it's been a short term marriage
The overnight revolution caused so much damage
Try to understand me as I'm not here too long
And do carry on do carry on do carry on do carry on
Oh oh
People people
People people
