People In Black Songtext
von Still Life

People in black wander round in the night
So that they can be seen
Writing their letters of protest
To say how they think things should be
About you and me and how things should be
Writing about you and me

People in black wander round in the night
So that they can be seen
Writing letters of protest
To say how they think things should be

"Is it right?" they declare
With an air of superiority
With a right, they demand
With an air of complete authority


We′ll sit and watch while the world catches fire
We'll watch and sink deep down in the mire
Then when it′s done, we'll say, what'd you did wrong

We′ll sit and watch while the world catches fire
We′ll watch and sink deep down in the mire
Then when it's done, we′ll say, what'd you did wrong

People in black wander round in the night
So they can be seen
Writing letters of protest
To say how they think things should be
About you and me and how things should be
Writing, people in black, down the pipe

Oh, we still watch while the world catches fire
We watch it sink deep down in the mire
Then when it′s done, we'll say, what′d you did wrong

We'll sit and watch while the world catches fire
We watch it sink deep down in the mire
Then when it's done, we′ll say, what′d you did wrong
