C          G                F
Humankind, it's not fair, why should we all live in fear
C          G             F
Humankind, it's a test, to see who's the very best
C           G               F
Humankind, don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies
C                 G           F                  D
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see

Chorus:
 A                    G      A                     F A
Peoplealways tellin' lies, they can keep their alibi
                      G     A                           F  A
Peopleknockin' at my door, how come they want more and more
                           G A                            F A
Peopletalkin' behind your back, most of them drive a cadilac
                         G    A                    C  G F
Peoplestarrin' at your clothes I can't take it anymore

Humankind, it's a shame, some don't even know their names
Humankind, are so strange, some need to be rearranged
Humankind, I don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see?

Chorus

 E                  G              D            A
Tell me, tell me, who's to blame, for people acting this way
Tell me, tell me, what's so wrong, if humans just got along
Tell me, tell me, tell me please, if psychiatric help is what we need

Chorus

People! Yeah!
People!
People! Yeah!
People!
