For the people

yeah hmmmm
This is for the people who do understand
That it's all about
Give and take and what you make
You'll get in the end
This is for the ladies who don't give a damn
When the people say:
"Paint your face and keep your grace and stand by your man"
This is for the fellas who do understand
It ain't all about
Sex and drugs and money sucks
If you only pretend

And when the lights go out today
I hope that you all get into what I say
There's nothing greater than human love
It is brought by nature or send from up above
