Syd Straw - People Of Earth lyrics

People of earth sometimes you really get me down People of earth, sometimes it's just astonishing People of earth, sometimes you really get me down Hey you at the bar, what you pay good money for? Hey you at the bar, what do you even come here for? You'll never know what kind of a show you missed Hey you in the blue van, why did you steal my parking place? I know that you saw me waiting for it patiently Now what did you do? Don't forget the gold hand rule Please don't put me down Please don't put me down Does it make you feel big to belittle me? Please don't put me down Don't k** me for my sneakers, find some shoes of your own And don't abuse our teachers 'cause we can learn this on our own, and people yer know We've really got a lot to learn Attention all shoppers, big, big savings today For our shoppers, if you've got the money to pay Big savings in isle 6 today People of earth, greed, greed, greed People of earth, need, need, need It's not in my nature to sit And watch you bleed, bleed, bleed Please don't put me down Please don't let me down Be the first one on your clock to keep on walking top to top Please don't let me down And what about the oceans? I'm afraid to eat the fish I bet their scared to live there, look it's glowing in my dish What did the aquatic world ever do, to deserve all of this? When will we ever learn that oil and water don't mix When I picture the world, I picture one better than this Why do we keep fighting, baby? Together we could live in bliss People of earth, I really love you And never would I put myself above you People of earth, people of earth, people of earth People of earth, people of earth, I really love you I am one of you
