Too Many 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.
Piece of cake!
Too many people going underground
Too many reaching for a piece of cake
Too many people pulled and pushed around
Too many waiting for that lucky break
That was your first mistake
You took your lucky break and broke it in two
Now what can be done for you?
You broke it in two
Too many people sharing party lines
Too many people never sleeping late
Too many people paying parking fines
Too many hungry people losing weight
That was your first mistake
You took your lucky break and broke it in two
Now what can be done for you?
You broke it in two
Too many people preaching practices
Don't let them tell you what you wanna be
Too many people holding back
This is crazy and maybe it's not like me
That was your last mistake
I find my love awake and waiting to be
Now what can be done for you?
She's waiting for me
