People Puttin' People Down Songtext
von John Prine

People that are sad
Sometimes they wear a frown
And people that are kings
Sometimes they wear a crown

But all the people who don′t fit
They get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin′ people down

People without love
Sometimes build a fence around
The garden up above
That makes the whole world go 'round

But all the people who don't fit
They get the only fun they get
From people puttin′ people down
People puttin′ people down

So cold
Sometimes it gets so cold


You may lose your wife
You may lose your family
You may lose you mind
Just to keep your sanity

But the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin′ people down
People puttin' people down

People that are glad
Sometimes they wear a smile
And people without dreams
They walk the extra mile

But all the people who don′t fit
They get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin′ people dwn

People puttin' people down
People puttin' people down
So cold, sometimes it gets so cold
