Lyrics People Puttin' People Down - John Prine

People Puttin' People Down

People who are sad, sometimes they wear a frown
And people who are kings, sometimes they wear a crown
But all the people who don’t fit
They get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down
People without love, sometimes build a fence around
The garden up above, that makes the whole world go 'round
But all the people who don’t fit
They get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down
So cold, sometimes it gets so cold
You may love your wife, you may lose your family
And you may lose your mind, just to keep your sanity
But the people who don’t fit
They get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down
People that are glad, sometimes they wear a smile
And people without dreams, they walk the extra mile
But all the people who don’t fit
They get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down
People puttin' people down
People puttin' people down
So cold, sometimes it gets so cold
