Some Folks

Some folks just run you down
just because you ain't been around
some folks always act the same
pretty friendly they forgot your name
some folks have stories inside
but the fancy storyteller died
some folks been forced to crawl
'cause they look good down there that's all

(Chorus)
God tied on his boots
the day after he finished all the suits
and that's when he got down in the dirt
to make the folks who live to hurt
some folks will see you eye to eye
when it's time to say goodbye
they don't really want you to know them none
they'd rather look out at the setting sun.

Some folks think it's cruel to be kind
because it's phony when you're burning blind
some folks got you by the tail
ain't goin nowhere things are getting stale
some folks do the best they can
though they can't do what they want again
some folks repeat themselves
read the same book on the same shelf.

(chorus)

Hand them down their walking cane
The masses damaged by the corporate brains
it'd be easy to end the drug war
but you can't end this war on the poor
really politicians don't lie
they got your money and you don't know why
the worst that could happen ain't how you died
but how you lived through the roller coaster ride.

(chorus)
