"Lonesome And Unwanted People" lyrics
"Lonesome And Unwanted People"
This here's a song about the lonesome and unwanted people
People who've been deprived of the good thing life can give
It's a doggone shame
Too many children are sufferin' from mistakes of their parents
Too dumb to tell them there's a better way to get the good things in life, oh yeah
Oh yeah
While you're standing on a corner shootin' sevens
You can be busy trying to help yourself in a far better way
There are people using drugs, poppin' pills, tryin' to get prescription filled
Stealing money, stealing cars
And they don't believe in Santa Clause
They just won't believe, no, in Santa Clause
Oh no, now
I wonder when will it end?
When did it begin
It's destroyin' both me and you
What are we gonna do? (Right now)
We better do something about it (Right now)
Hey (Ohh-oh-oh)
(Hey, hey)
People fighting one another
Don't believe in the word of brother
Still believe in segregation
Why don't you stop this aggravation (Right now)
Come on and get together now (Right now)
You better do something about it y'all (Ohh-oh-oh)
Before it's too late (Hey, hey)
Wonder when will it end?
When did it begin
It's destroyin' both me and you
Oh, what are we gonna do? (Right now)
Oh you better do something about it (Right now)
Oh-oh (Ohh-oh-oh)
(Hey, hey)
People fighting one another
Don't believe in the word of brother
Still believe in segregation
Don't you stop this aggravation (Right now)
Come on and stop it y'all (Right now)
Oh-oh (Ohh-oh-oh)
Keep on tryin' tell you now
(Hey, hey)
Wonder when will it end?
When did it begin
It's destroyin' both me and you
What are we gonna do? (Right now)
Come on people
