Plastic People





In this world of men and women,
    when life just isn't worth living. 

People crowd you from all sides,
    you're the one who needs a guide.

People staring you in the eye,
    trying to see if you don't lie.

Don't be yourself you have to conform,
    then they say you weren't even born.

If this my friend is happening to you,
    and you don't know where to run,
        or what to do.

Take these plastic people,
    take them by the hand.

Twist them bend them,
    it's your turn to take a stand.

Tell them that you want to be,
    not a slave but someone free.

To live in a world
    of peace and love.

Where nobody is below
    nobody above.

Where people can walk hand in hand
    and there is harmony, not hate,
         all over this land.

Yes my brothers and sisters
    I would do this.

For the plastic people
    cannot persist.

They have no real convictions
    no real mind.

This is why
     you should strike them blind.

You have to be free,
    to live like you want to be.
