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 it 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

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
