How many people stand in a line? 
How many people never get a chance to shine? 
And if you can tell me, I'll gladly listen 
How many people have died?

One too many right now for me 
I wanna be happy, I wanna be free, yeah
One too many right now for me 
I wanna see ordinary people living peacefully

How many people go for a ride? 
How many people never make it through to the other side? 
If you can tell me, I'll gladly listen 
So how many people have cried?

One too many right now for me 
I wanna be happy, I wanna be free, yeah 
One too many right now for me 
I wanna see ordinary people living peacefully, hey

Oh now, hey now, now, hey now, now, hey now, hey yeah

How many people will it take? 
How many people for goodness sake? 
How many people? How many people? 
One too many, one too many right now

How many people? 
One too many right now 
How many people? 
One too many 
Hey, hey, wae, hey, hey
