It Is The People

Once so high and over the top.
A dropping now has happened,
To the bottom.

And seen to scatter fast,
From the subject and the scene...
Are people looking very guilty.

They're looking guilty.
And getting fat.
Why would anybody treat themselves,
Like that.
They're looking guilty.
And getting fat.
Why would anybody treat themselves,
Like that.

It is the people....
Doing that.
Treating themselves to desrespect...
Right back.

It is the people....
Who do that.
Treating themselves to desrespect...
Right back.

Once so high and over the top.
A dropping now has happened,
To the bottom.

And seen to scatter fast,
From the subject and the scene...
Are people looking very guilty.

It is the people....
Doing that.
Treating themselves to desrespect...
Right back.

It is the people....
Who do that.
Treating themselves to desrespect...
Right back.

It is the people,
Doing that.
And that's a fact.
They're doing that.

It is the people,
Doing that.
And that's a fact.
They're doing that.
