People Putting People Down

John Prine

Palace Theater, Sao Paolo, Brazil - 16 Aug 1991  

People that are sad, sometimes they wear a frown
People that are kings, sometimes they wear a crown
But the people that don't fit
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 that don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down.

You may love your wife, you may lose your family
You may lose you mind just to keep your sanity
But the people that don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down.

So, so cold, sometimes it gets so cold.

People that are glad, sometimes they wear a smile
People without dreams, they walk an extra mile
But the people that don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down.

So cold, sometimes it gets so cold.
