about

People - the next single from Ron & The Hip Tones. To be released soon - powerful “message” song reminiscent of the black exploitation / black power soundtracks of the 70’s

lyrics

Talk to me I’ll talk to you
We both have a name
It’s not us versus them
We’re not the ones to blame

We’re just PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
Caught up in the game
We’re just PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
We are all the same
We’re just PEOPLE (PEOPLE)

Walk with me I’ll walk with you
Down to City Hall
Tell the man what’s on our minds
Make him hear the call

Of the PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
Caught up in the fight
We’re just PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
- Fighting for our rights
We’re just PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
- Making history
In a world of inhumanity
We’re just PEOPLE (PEOPLE)

The puppet master pulls his strings
Tears our world apart
It’s up to us to make a change
Mend this nation’s heart

Come on PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
We can change the game
We’re just PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
We are all the same
We’re just PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
Living for today

Trying to make our way
Cause we’re PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
Trying to make our way
We’re just PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
We’re just PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
We’re just PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
We’re just PEOPLE (PEOPLE)
We the PEOPLE (PEOPLE)(PEOPLE)(ECT)
