Some People

(album: No Damage Done - 1992)

Some people take Heroin
Some people take mud
Some people get high on life
Other people give up
Some people get a line on hate
Make you wonder what they're thinking of
Some people realize too late
That all you really need is love

There's a place in my head that's already dead
And there's another that's just starting up
And there's the bit in the middle that's all soft and confused
Just looking for a little love

Some people give
Some people take

Some people talk of mean machines
Some people talk of getting out
Chasing dreams from the cradle to the grave
Is all they ever think about
Some people live their lives on trial
For crimes they didn't commit
Other people just take what they want
And always get away with it

Some people take your money
Some people steal your heart
Some people let the fates decide
Some people let no pleasures be denied

Some people say the end is nigh
It's written there for us to learn
The righteous will be taken from their Cadillacs
And the rest of us sinners will burn
Some people see heaven on earth
In the moon and the stars above
Some people stay up all night
They just never seem to get enough

Some people let it all drift by
Some people say look at me
Some people say I'm the one
Some people hide their lives away
