People are suffering

I'll say it again

People are suffering

I'll say it again

People are suffering

I'll say it again

So remember when you're looking for trouble

That trouble is already busy with weaker men

People are hungry

I'll say it again

People are hungry

I'll say it again

People are hungry

I'll say it again

So don't you abuse that body

It'll snap without assistance my friends

The song goes on

I'll sing again until the music enervates

The song goes on

The sting of pain will dull and finally fade away

The song goes on

Through centuries of history it reverberates

The song goes on

On curving comets track the music makes its way

This song is so long

It ends up where it begins

People are lonely

I'll say it again

People are lonely

I'll say it again

People are lonely

I'll say it again

So don't let them run too far from home

You'll be alone for sure on that you can depend

People are bleeding

I'll say it again

People are bleeding

I'll say it again

People are bleeding

I'll say it again

So put away that switchblade knife

Tighten up the knot that'll help this bloodshed end

The song goes on - the song goes on

This song

Is so long

It ends up where it begins

People are suffering

I'll say it again and again

People are hungry

I'll say it again and again

People are lonely

I'll say it again and again
