(Thompson/Foreman)[Backgound vocals throughout the song: "People !"]People, it's been a long time comingMany years spent hop skipping and a-jumpingWe cracked the golden egg and cooked our gooseThere's no excuse, accept my truceThere's a tremor in the air of all hell breaking looseAnd people, you like it or not, you'll go unheardLike the unknown soldier who didn't say a wordRounded up like the blood beaten rest of the herdAt the crossroads of life in itself seems absurdBut I'll hopscotch, cartwheel across, pointing the finger of fateOh, I'm in the mood to createPeople peoplePeople, it's been a short term marriageThe overnight revolution caused so much damageTry to understand me as I'm not here too longAnd do carry on do carry on do carry on do carry onOh ohPeople peoplePeople people
