31 lyrics for "People round here"
People know you by your first name And what you did last night What kind of truck you drive How your team did back in high school So you can't lie Better watch out who you take home 'Cause around here, it's a fact of life It's a town just outside of
PlayHavin' hard times, there's no love to be found Havin' hard times in this crazy town Cold, cold eyes upon me they stare People all around me and they're all in fear They don't seem to want me but they won't admit I must be some kind of creature up here
PlayIn the end it all goes away How do I feel What do I say Who can believe you The Kombucha mushroom people Sitting around all day Let your mother pray (sugar) Fuck you, it all goes away I'm not there all the time you know
PlayWorlds are spinning 'round Don't forget to take a breath There's no time for slowing down So won't you take a breath? Just take a breath People change and promises are broken Clouds can move and skies will be wide open We've all been down that road
Play'Cause you make me feel gorgeous You're so gorgeous Oh, so gorgeous I might be better off without you There's too many people all around you All these vultures that surround you They don't know a thing about you Nobody understands you You ain't nothing
PlayFor the times they are a-changin' Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you Is worth savin'
PlayThat's why New York's my home New York's my home, sweet home But it hasn't got There's a rumor going around That some of you good people Want to leave this town But you better consult me before you go 'Cause I've been in all these places
PlayI got that tunnel vision for you I only see you I got, I got that tunnel vision for you Zoom, zoom, zoom I know you like it A crowded room anywhere A million people around all I see is you And everything just disappears, disappears, disappears,
PlayI need a baby to keep me sedated I can't keep runnin' my people, I'm crazy I can't keep goin' to jail, that's fugazi Ain't no more fraud, now I'm legally bankin' Nevada won't even accept me in Vegas You can't keep runnin' 'round here like you made it
PlayThe Times They Are a-Changin' (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - October 1992)
Tracy Chapman
For the times they are a-changin' Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you Is worth savin'
