People Goin' Crazy

All I ever wanted was a saintly life
Play in the river till the lily pads moved to our side
There we put our army men of twig and bone
There we put our futures, adrift upon some road

All I really wanted was the birth of creation
Inside a skull that wasn't fit for sunbeams
Like to go on learning but I'm forgetting these days
Like to on living but I haven't got a much to say

People going crazy
Standing all around me
What could I do but run?
Running in this life means your guilty over someone.

I know the laws of humanity
I wouldn't hurt a soul
I believe in the laws of humanity
I couldn't do it - rather lose my soul
I'd rather lose my soul.

All I ever wanted was a child to play with
Teach all the stories that were given to me and mine
Intimate connections brought the child adulthood
Not in physicality but certainly in mind

All I dared to dream was that the causes of a good man
Recognized around me would have brought me some peace
Did what I thought was the duty of fathers
Now they whisper hopefully there won't be no police

People going crazy
The chaos that surrounds me
What could I do but stay?
Running in this lifetime takes your dignity away.

I know the laws of morality
I wouldn't hurt a soul ... for I'm a soul too
And I wonder where they get the notion,
That someone who's loved someone truly can ever control
That scourge of control itself
Inflicted on someone, subjected on someone else.

I ain't no user
I sure ain't no child abuser
I ain't no user...no
And I sure as hell ain't no child abuser

I ain't no user
I sure ain't no child abuser
I ain't no user...no
And I sure as hell ain't no child abuser

I ain't no user
I ain't that kinda loser
I ain't no user, brotha
And I sure ain't down for no child abuse neither.
