These Are Not My People

First your mama and your papa Sent you to the finest school Never let it be said That their little darlin' was a fool So, with a credit card and your good name You were drawn like a moth to the flame To the people of the night Where you more or less lost your cool Ah, you had twenty-twenty vision And still you were walkin' 'round blind Yes and whether right or wrong I'd still tag along behind But you're flyin' too high for me And if this is how it's got to be Then it's time to say "You go your way and I'll go mine" It's been a gas but I'm gonna have to pass These are not people, no These are not my people And it looks like the end, my friend Got to get in the wind, my friend Mm, you found yourself naked in the world With no place to hide Then you felt for the pulse of your god And he had died Then your rebels that have got no cause And your tigers that have got no claws They promised you the world on a string But you know they lied Lord, you know, you said you'd be back In a black Cadillac limousine But you know, I'm inclined to think It's not the kind you mean No, 'cause when you fall down from off your cloud And you're just another face in the crowd They're gonna throw you away Like last week's magazine It's been a gas but I'm gonna have to pass These are not people, no, no These are not my people And it looks like the end, my friend I got to get in the wind, my friend It looks like the end, my friend I got to get in the wind, my friend It looks like the end, my friend Got to get in the wind, my friend
