“too many people” (lyrics)

INTRO:

(piece of cake…)

VERSE 1:

Too many people going underground,
Too many reaching for a piece of cake.
Too many people pulled and pushed around,
Too many waiting for that lucky break

CHORUS 1:

That was your first mistake,
You took your lucky break and broke it in two.
Now what can be done for you?
You broke it in two.

VERSE 2:

Too many people sharing party lines,
Too many people never sleeping late.
Too many people paying parking fines,
Too many hungry people losing weight.

CHORUS 2:

That was your first mistake,
You took your lucky break and broke it in two.
Now what can be done for you?
You broke it in two.

Mm-mm-uh-uh.

Uh!

VERSE 3:

Too many people preaching practices,
Don’t let ’em tell you what you wanna be.
Too many people holding back,
This is crazy, and baby, it’s not like me.

CHORUS 3:

that was your last mistake…
i find my love awake and waiting to be…
now what can be done for you?
she’s waiting for me…
