These Are Not My People - Swamp Dogg

First, your momma and your poppa sent you to the finest schools

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

You had 20/20 vision still you were walkin' 'round blind

Yet, whether right or wrong I still tagged along behind

But you’re flyin' too high for me

And if this is how it’s gotta be

Then it’s time to say that you’ll go your way and I’ll go mine

Been a gas but I’m gonna have to pass

These are not my people, no

These are not my people

Look like the end, my friend

Gotta get in the wind, my friend

You find yourself naked in the world with no place to hide

Then you felt 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

Oh, 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 that you mean, no

'Cause when you fall down from off your cloud

And you’re just another face in the crowd

They gonna throw you away like last week’s magazine

Been a gas but I’m gonna have to pass

These are not my people, no

These are not my people

Look like the end, my friend

Gotta get in the wind, my friend

Look like the end, my friend

Gotta get in the wind, my friend

Look like the end, my friend

Gotta get in the wind
