PEOPLE IS PEOPLE
By Penguin
Arranged by Leston Paul
Album: "What sweet in goat mouth..." T&T, 1983

Some people think they born to live like a king
While all the rest of us should be suffering
Some people think they good, other people bad
But such an attitude is sad because experiences I had
They really quite convince me and cause me to see

That people is people, people is people everywhere
People is people, the rich the poor the dark, the fair
All kind of people nice, all have some little kind of vice
As long as it's people, yes, people is people.

Some people think because they read a few book
That everybody else is a set ah mook
Some people think the key to Heaven is theirs
And so they want to spend the years
Wrapped up in sackcloth, shedding tears
And acting like nobody more pious than we.

But people is people, people is people everywhere
People is people, the rich, the poor, the dark, the fair
All kind of people nice, all have some little kind of vice
As long as it's people, people is people.

Some people judge you by colour of your skin
Or the society that you moving in
Some people judge you by the money you make
But then society is a fake, to judge by cash a big mistake
So just forget criterion and check out the man
And you will find...

People is people, people is people everywhere
People is people, the rich, the poor, the dark, the fair
All kind of people nice, all have some little kind of vice
As long as it's people, people is people.

[People is people, people is people everywhere]
[People is people, people is people everywhere]
[People is people, people is people everywhere]
[People is people, people is people everywhere]
[People is people, people is people everywhere]

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Penguin. I love this song...

"Some people judge you by colour of your skin/Or the society that you moving in/Some people judge you by the money you make/But then society is a fake, to judge by cash a big mistake/So just forget criterion and check out the man/And you will find...people is people..."

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
