PEOPLE DO BLUES

I KNEW A MAN
HE WAS A SLAVE TO HIS DREAM
TO FIND HIS WAY
HE’D TRY EVERY SINGLE SCHEME
USING PEOPLE
HE’D PILFER THEIR INPUT
THEN BURN THE BRIDGES
AND SHOOT HIMSELF IN THE FOOT

OH PEOPLE, PEOPLE DO BLUES
WE LOVE TO WIN, WE HATE TO LOSE
PEOPLE DO BLUES

NOW THE REDS
INVADED MOUNTAINS OF TIBET
BEGAN IN 1949
AND THEY AIN’T DONE YET
THEY TRIED TO RAPE
THE CULTURE FROM THE LAND
BUT THE GOOD PEOPLE
STILL RESIST WITH ALL THE FORCE THAT THEY CAN

OH PEOPLE, PEOPLE DO BLUES
TRYING TO COVER UP WHAT’S TRUE
PEOPLE DO BLUES

BLACK GOLD
THEY CREATE WARS FOR THE STUFF
THROUGH SMOKE AND MIRRORS
THEY MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK TOUGH
FIGHTING WARS ON MADE UP SCORES
MAKING PROFITS FOR THE FEW
THESE GREEDY BOYS GOT GREAT BIG TOYS
TO MAKE THEIR PLANS COME TRUE

OH PEOPLE, LIES GET IN THE NEWS
TO CREATE FEAR IN ME AND YOU
PEOPLE DO BLUES

OH PEOPLE, WAR IS MADE TO PROFIT FEW
EXPENITURES ARE ME AND YOU
PEOPLE DO BLUES

OH PEOPLE, PEOPLE DO BLUES
THE HOUSE OF CARDS WILL FALL ASKEW
PEOPLE DO BLUES
