 Intro on

Verse chords

When I was young

I saw people helping people all the time

Because you were

People-helping-people

In your prime

I thought people-loving-people

Were the norm

Because you were people

Loving people

 Before the long dark storm

Chorus

 But now you're selfish and mean

 Your eyes glued to a screen

 And what titillates you

 Is depraved and obscene

 And I know that it's dangerous to judge

 But man you've gotta find the truth

 And when you find that truth don't budge

Until the truth you found begins to change

 And it does I know,

I know

 When you love the truth enough

 You start to tell all the time

 When it gets you into trouble

 You discover you don't mind

 'Cause if good is finally gonna trump

 Than man you've gotta take stock

 And you've gotta take your lumps

 Or else they trickle down

 Into someone else's cup below

 You know

Verse

I wanna know who are these people

Blaming their sins on the fall

Who are these people

If I'm honest with myself at all

These are my people

Man, what else can I say

You are my people

And we're the same in so many ways

Chorus

 Then your eyes turned green

 And you broke the machine

 That when handed to you

 Was still kind of functioning

 And I know that it's dangerous to judge

 But man you've gotta find the truth

 And when you find that truth don't budge

Until the truth you found begins to change

 And it does I know,

I know

 When you love the truth enough

 You start to tell all the time

 When it gets you into trouble

 You discover you don't mind

 'Cause if good is finally gonna trump

 Than man you've gotta take stock

 And you've gotta take your lumps

 Or else they trickle down

 Into someone else's cup below

 You know
