Lyrics

Dum Dum

[Verse 1]

You want the people to be the people

That want the people to love you

You need the people to show the facts

Instead again, they shove you

Want the people to be the people that

They don't need you

Need the people to show the facts

They just please you

Lover man, his face is lost

And you're much colder

Then again, the other man

He's much bolder

[Verse 2]

You need the people to be the people

That want the people to love you

You need the people to show the facts

Instead again, they shove you

Want the people to see the people that

They don't need you

Need the people to be the people that

They don't need you

Then again, that son of a bitch

And he's much colder

Then again and then again and then again and then again

[Verse 3]

You want the people to be the people

That want the people to love you

You need the people to show the facts

Instead again, they shove you

Want the people to be the people

They don't need you

Need the people to show the facts

They just bleed you

The other man, his face is lost

And you're much older

Then again, the other man

He's much bolder
