Pass, people, pass People pass my field of vision Different people Some smart, some dumb Mostly people Sometimes a dog Sometimes a cat A few birds here and there But mostly people Old people Young people Mostly disgusting people
People like the young people Who go home to their disgusting houses And their disgusting families To eat their dinner And after (On some nights) Mommy and daddy Discuss politics Over a bottle of red wine While the TV soap operas cry About a gangster's child or whatnot
The trees dance as I think As I think about the young people The disgusting young people The trees dance as the people pass Dance, trees, dance Pass, people, pass
People like the old people Who work at dead-end jobs And those with non-dead-end jobs The ones who legally buy alcohol and smokes And pay disgusting bills And pay off disgusting loans And disgusting mortgages While they drink their alcohol While they smoke their cigarettes And think about bills, loans, and mortgages About politics and where they stand About the gangster's child on TV And they talk about the bills, loans, and mortgages Politics too To their wives or husbands or kids or selves As the TV drones on about the gangster's child
The trees stand as I think As I think about the old people The disgusting old people The trees stand as people pass Stand, trees, stand Pass, people, pass
