Lyrics
Lay People
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It doesn't matter how rich or poor we are
Doesn't matter what sex or species we are
Doesn't matter with which nation we associate
Doesn't matter what politics we love or hate
We've still got to go to the toilet
There's no way of getting 'round this I'm afraid
We're all busy going to the toilet
But not on television
We've all got to do the toilet one
But not on television
We're all lay people when it comes to the brown
We're all at one with each other
Cause somewhere in between the black and white
There's us just sitting or squatting
Laying down the brown
