This Old Town (People In This Town)

(album: Be Altitude: Respect Yourself - 1972)

People in this town ain't got no faces
People in this town ain't got no faces
'Cause they just got love between the races
Just got love between the races

People in this town don't do no crying
People in this town don't do no crying
Don't have to rob and steal for surviving
Don't have to rob and steal for surviving

Hearts that should be speaking out
Just won't stay silent
And everybody knows
That no man's an island

I saw a father and his son
Walking down the street, yes I did
You know what, they walked hand in hand
And oh what a beautiful sight to see

People in this town, they don't need no soldier
People in this town, they don't need no soldier
They don't go around looking over their shoulder
Just don't go around looking over their shoulder

Everybody's going around
Shaking hands, loving everybody
Ain't got no room for aggravation
What they love is communication

Now open up your heart for me
Give a little love, it'll set you free
You don't have to go around searching for this town
Right in your heart, that's where it's found

People in this town ain't got no faces
People in this town ain't got no faces
'Cause they just got love between the races
Just got love between the races
