People

When i was young

I saw people helping people all the time

Because you were people helping people in your prime

I thought that people loving people were the norm

Because you were people loving people before the long dark storm

But now you're selfish and mean, your eyes glued to a screen

And what titillates you is depraved and obscene

And i know that it's dangerous to judge

But man you gotta find the truth

And when you find that truth don't budge

Until the truth you found begins to change

And it does, i know, i know

And when you love the truth enough you start to tell it all the time

And when it gets you into trouble you discover you don't mind

'cause if good is finally gonna trump

Then man you gotta take stock and you gotta take your lumps

Or else they trickle down into someone else's cup below

You know

I wanna know who are these people blaming their sins on the fall

And who are these people

Well if i'm honest with myself at all these are my people

Man what else can i say

You are my people

We're the same in so many ways

But then your eyes turned green and you broke the machine

That when handed to you was still kinda functioning

And i know that it's dangerous to judge

But man you gotta find the truth

And when you find that truth don't budge

Until the truth you found begins to change

And it does, i know, i know

When you love the truth enough you start to tell it all the time

When it gets you into trouble you discover you don't mind

'cause if good is finally gonna trump

Then man you gotta take stock and you gotta take your lumps

Or else they trickle down into someone else's cup below

You know
