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.

People, we're only people

There's not much anyone can do, really do about that

But it hasn't stopped us yet

People, we know so little about ourselves

But just enough to wanna be nearly anybody else

How does that add up?

Oh, friends, all my friends

Oh, I hope you're somewhere smiling

Just know I think about you more kindly than you and I have ever been

And I'll see you the next time around the bend

People, what's the deal?

You've been hurt

And I've been hurt

But what do we do now?

People, we're only people

There ain't a thing one person can ever change about that

Oh, friends, all my friends

Oh, I hope you're somewhere smiling

Just know I think about you more kindly than you and I have ever been

And I'll see you the next time around the bend

I think the end of it all may look a lot like the beginning

But passed around from hand to hand

Screaming for no particular reason

The company gets pretty thin

So we start to shed all our distinctions

So why not me?

Why not you?

Why not now?
