The World Is Full of People

Steve Forbert

There's someone on your butt these days
Most everywhere you go
You always wait in line, you find
The line is always slow
I might start in complaining
But in truth I plainly see
The problem's made of people
And the people's partly me

The world is full of people
Everywhere you go
I'm a people, you're a people
What do people know
Then the help is a fast thing
And traffic jams are slow
And the world is full of people
People everywhere you go

The world is full of people
People all the time
I'm a people, you're a people
What do people find
They find life might be longer
With years they've got to grow
And the world is full of people
People everywhere you go

The waitress in the coffee shop was quite polite
And poured my cup of tea and smiled for me
To the best of my knowledge
No one here requested to be born
And I appreciate her courtesy

The world is full of people
People tend to be
I'm a people, you're a people
What do people see?
They see smokes, tax and the oil spilled
Some love their children so
And the world is full of people
People everywhere
Your world is full of people, people everywhere you go
