[Verse 1]
How many people
Stand in a line?
How many people
Never get a chance to shine?
If you can tell me
I'll gladly listen
How many people have died?
[Chorus]
One too many right now for me
I want to be happy
I want to be free
One too many tight now for me
I want to see ordinary people living peacefully
[Verse 2]
How many people
Go for a ride
How many people
Never make it through to the other side?
If you can tell me
I'll gladly listen
How many people have cried?
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
How many people
Will i take?
How many people
For goodness sake?
How many people?[x2]
One too many
