My People Lyrics

Thought I was free

From mindless scandalous talk

I was never immune

No matter where I walked

I had an ear to the ground

Was that abuse that I heard?

I thought I was free, but

I was starting to destroy myself

My people, oh my people

You have defamed me

Oh my people, yes my people

Rick Nixon phoned me

My people, oh my people

You have deserted me

Oh my people, yes my people

Joe Stalin wrote to me

It entered my mind

My rotting, decaying mind

Every avenue turned

Every sinew burned

So how can I can tell?

Was it because they fumed

With their minds struck dumb?

I was starting to betray myself

My people, oh my people

You have defamed me

Oh my people, yes my people

Rick Nixon phoned me

My people, oh my people (Tick tock tick tock, Any minute headlock)

You have deserted me (Backtrack feedback, Double barrel … attack)

Oh my people, yes my people (You're gonna take me down, You're gonna take me down)

Joe Stalin wrote to me (Down, down, down)

Oh what's charisma?

What's personality too?

I was always thinking of

What the hell were you, doing

You called yourself friend

But never breathed a word

Of the time we might have

I was starting to despise myself

My people, oh my people

You have defamed me

Oh my people, yes my people

Rick Nixon phoned me

My people, oh my people (Tick tock tick tock, Any minute headlock)

You have deserted me (Backtrack feedback, Double barrel … attack)

Oh my people, yes my people (You're gonna take me down, You're gonna take me down)

Joe Stalin wrote to me (Down, down, down)

Every avenue turned

Every sinew burned, burned

Every avenue turned

Every sinew burned, burned

Every avenue turned

Every sinew burned, burned

Every avenue turned

Every sinew burned, burned
