Lyrics People - Jenny O.

People

It was a bad day on the street, oh
They had a barricade for the angry
It was a good sign that the
People behind it were healthy
It only takes one generation
To lead them to freedom
Then lose them, forget
People in power are just people
And when you see it repeating
It comes down to you not to be that way
In all of history
Every little town, and on TV
There’s no one more important
Than anybody else is
And especially you
The trouble with being a hero
You need a place to live
And good job with a ring to it
And in your journey to be righteous
To save us from evil
To serve and protect
You gotta foster up a mutual respect
Like a sage or a poet
For the rest of your days
Dedicated to understanding
And when you see it repeating
It comes down to you not to be that way
In all of history
Every little town, and on TV
There’s no one more important
Than anybody else is
And especially you
Every little town, and on TV
There’s no one more important
Than anybody else is
And especially me
